Cash seized from criminals has been used to fund 25 food boxes for people in need.
Police said 拢750 was given to Devon and Cornwall Food Action, a charity that works with food producers and supermarkets to redistribute food.
The money will go towards funding boxes containing food, toiletries and hygiene products, which officers would then distribute to people while on duty, Devon and Cornwall Police said.
PC David Brooks said the boxes were "vital" and putting money back into the community was "fantastic".
The force said 82% of people the charity supported were in paid employment.
