National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D.)<\/p>\n

On January 9th, 2016, partnering organizations in support of law enforcement officers nationwide will promote National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D.). In light of recent negativity directed toward law enforcement nationally, there is a need to show law enforcement officers that our citizens recognize the difficult and sometimes impossible career they have chosen, in public service to us all.<\/p>\n

On January 9th of each year we will call our nation\u2019s citizens to action in support of law enforcement. Those citizens who appreciate law enforcement and are discouraged about the negative attention being given to law enforcement are encouraged to take time on January 9, to show their support. Our citizens can show their support in a number of ways:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Change your profile picture on social media to the .jpg image provided at www.facebook.com\/nationalcops<\/a>.
\n\u2022 Wear blue clothing in support of law enforcement.
\n\u2022 Send a card of support to your local police department or state agency.
\n\u2022 Share a story about a positive law enforcement experience on social media.
\n\u2022 Ask children in your community to write letters in support of law enforcement.
\n\u2022 Participate in Project Blue Light – Proudly display your blue light in support of law enforcement.
\n\u2022 Organize an event or a rally in support of your law enforcement officers.
\n\u2022 Advertise your support through local media outlets\/billboards.
\n\u2022 Post the public service announcement supplied by C.O.P.S. to your organization\u2019s webpage or social media pages.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, if you see a police officer, thank a police officer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think I will be doing at least two things off the list above.\u00a0 My thanks to all the men and women of law enforcement who do a tough job every day and keep our communities safe.<\/p>\n
