How You Can Participate In Thank A Police Officer Day

We were asked a question this week: "Where is this event held?" We realize that some folks may not be aware exactly how they can be a part of September 15th, when the 7th annual event happens. Our answer: It's held wherever citizens and area residents wish to participate in thanking local law enforcement - it starts with you! Anyone can choose to adopt a department, have a meal delivered to a nearby agency, rally your neighborhood to display blue ribbons in support of our police officers, hold a church service for LEO's, help your children or classroom write letters to each officer at your local PD.

How Rochester, NH Is Gearing Up for Thank a Police Officer Day 2018

I look online for many things; news stories, clip art, upcoming event listings, etc, but one of the things I've come across in the last year is just too awesome to keep to myself. Back in the summer of 2017, while Googling "thank a police officer day", I'd found a few images and graphics relating to a particular observance where residents were making plans together to show appreciation to their local law enforcement. Seeing "Rochester" displayed across the artwork led me to assume it took place in New York, but when I began seeing their posts again this year I realized it was actually Rochester, New Hampshire. But these aren't ordinary plans, run-of-the-mill happenings, or the usual town event; THIS is a celebration of the men and women across the neighborhoods of a community pulling out all the stops. I knew I had to find out the details - and more importantly, share it with you.
