Or is a simple thank-you sufficient for they great job and service they provide?
A simple thank you is more than sufficient. Monetary donations may violate the code of ethics as well as any gift.
As far as the disrespect from the public, it just comes with the job. Some like us, some tolerate us, and some hate us. We just learn to deal with it!
