Graffic Traffic

On July 18, 2018 we as an agency, and furthermore, brothers and sisters protecting the silver line received the news we’ve always dreaded, and hoped would never be: Our corrections brother Officer Joseph Gomm (MCF-Stillwater) lost his life in the line of duty serving the great state of Minnesota.

Paul was out of town for a wedding, but we were assured that his team would get ahold of Paul right away and explain the situation, and the urgency of getting a shirt designed.

We received a call back within a few hours, explained the design to Paul and asked if this would be something that they could pull off. Paul’s response, "Just tell us what you need, and we’ll make it happen.” This offering phrase remained a common theme when collaborating with Graffic Traffic. While driving home from an out of town wedding with his wife, Paul collaborated with his team to make the Joe Gomm shirts become a reality.

Within only a few days, Paul and his team at Graffic Traffic printed thousands of shirts, donating hours of time so DOC staff could get these shirts out in a very short amount of time. This was a huge step for the corrections family to be able to start their long road to healing, honoring our fallen brother.

Paul continued to be a help at the event, arriving with spreadsheets and support. He was assisting in any way that he could that day, going above and beyond! After the event he continued to keep the Gomm family in mind, and took it upon himself to design and create stickers which also contributed to the fundraiser for the Gomm family. The proceeds raised from the Gomm shirts and stickers exceeded $33,000.

On Monday, September 24, 2018, once again our department suffered another traumatic loss. Officer Joseph Parise died in the line of duty after responding to a staff assault. Officer Parise suffered a medical emergency after responding and assisting with the staff assault, and returning to his post.

Feeling hurt, brokendown, we once again called upon Paul Burke and his team at Graffic Traffic and, once again, we were greeted with “We’ll make it happen!” They put together a design and the team at Graffic Traffic did, indeed, make it happen.

Through what seemed like endless emails and phone calls, Paul was always there with the answer we were looking for and a calm voice of reassurance that it was well underway. With orders still continuing to flood in, we are not sure what the final amount raised will be for the Parise family, but we are so grateful once again for the devotion and dedication Graffic Traffic has shown the Corrections and Law Enforcement community.

Paul Burke and his team did not have to do what they did, for as long as they have continued to do it. But this is who they are. Graffic Traffic is more than just a printing company. They have become family to us and the brothers and sisters of our agency.

Paul at Graffic Traffic just completed items for retired Minnesota Corrections staff to show their support for staff that are still working. He was great to work with and produced an outstanding product.

When we lost a brother in blue, they produced a massive amount of shirts so we could all support him and his family, with proceeds going to the family in their time of need. We even got them fast enough we were able to wear them for his funeral. When we lost a second brother a short time later, traffic traffic was on it making shirts in memory of him as well. Outstanding company, outstanding compassion, and outstanding work! Thank you graffic traffic for supporting the MN DOC!

Want to thank the folks at Graffic Traffic for all their hard work and support during a very emotional time in the Corrections family. The shirts turned out great. Please consider these folks for your shirt orders. They will do a great job. Thanks again. Sincerely Retired Sgt. Gust Sarrack

The people who work here are doing gods work. They have gone above and beyond for so many amazing causes including backing law enforcement all the way. We in LE in MN cannot begin to thank them for whst they were able to accomplish for our brothers who have fallen in the line of duty. You deserve 1000 stars 💙 quality designs that come from the heart. AMAZING.

To say "THANK YOU!!" Will hardly be enough. Graffic Traffic was so incredibly supportive to us. They worked above and beyond to be able to complete shirt orders for us not once but twice. They did not my give of themselves physically but also financial as well. Portion of the proceeds for both Joseph Gomm and Joe Parise went to thier families. Thank you for your amazing dedication to help!

So thrilled with the results from Graffic Traffic and staff. Kids couldn't wait to put em on. Great work, Great Price, Great customer service. We will continue to send our business here! Thank you Paul and Darcy.

It’s amazing to see how giving and kind a business can be. Thank you so much for supporting the families of Officers Gomm and Parise. Your work is of the highest quality and your generosity will never be forgotten by our Minnesota corrections family.

They made amazing T-Shirts to help raise money for me and my family after my husband past away. They had them ready in time for the funeral and have been very cooperative with so many different sources asking for shirts.

Order was quickly delivered. Paul was super helpful and always very responsive. I even had a small issue with my invoice and he was took care of it right away.

You could not possibly find a better company out there. Graffic Traffic is the epítome of a small town business willing to give their all for their customers. Thank you for all you have done for the DOC and for becoming a part of our family.

This company is awesome. They produced a massive amount of high quality shirts in a short period of time with proceeds going to families of 2 officers. This is a company that the owner and employees work hard and they give back to the community. Thank you.

Can't say enough good things about this company! Paul and his employees have gone above and beyond their call. Heartfelt customer service for their customers. Thank you for all that you have done. Highly recommend company!
