While this is not the date when we "adopt" local departments (that is Thank a Police Officer Day in September), January 9th is certainly a great opportunity to honor and thank our LEO's. Visit the event page for our local Delmarva Peninsula area on Facebook here and read about ways to participate and join in letting our officers know that we stand with them here. Feel free to download and repost the graphics below on your social media channels too!
