Thank A Police Officer Day on Delmarva | September 21st, 2019

The 8th Annual "Thank A Police Officer Day" will be taking place on Saturday, September 21st, 2019. Launched in 2012 by the Whole Truth Project, this date is observed nationally on the third Saturday in September, and each year communities across the Delmarva Peninsula, local residents, businesses and civic organizations come together to thank local law enforcement.



We invite you to join us in acknowledging our law enforcement professionals by adopting a department, hosting an event or providing lunch or dinner to an agency that day. Our goal since 2015 when we began this local project was to show appreciation for the men and women who serve and protect our neighborhoods, towns and cities. See the event on Facebook here!




This event has only been possible through the help and generosity of so many local residents - it is truly a community effort which takes caring people from all over Delmarva. For additional information on ways to participate, ideas and albums from previous years, please see our Facebook page. For questions or to sign up to sponsor a department for September 21st send us a message. Thank you for helping us to say THANK YOU as "Delmarva Goes Blue" in September!






DSLEO was created for law enforcement of the Delmarva Peninsula (Delaware and the eastern shore areas of Maryland and Virginia), along with advocating respect for all officers.
