January 9th, 2020 is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D.), established by Concerns of Police Survivors. Please see their information release below for more details on how you participate in this day.




"On January 9th of each year, we will call our nation’s 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 9th to show their support. Our citizens can show their support in a number of ways:

• Change your profile picture on social media to the image provided on our Facebook page
• Wear blue clothing in support of law enforcement.
• Send a card of support to your local police department or state agency.
• Share a story about a positive law enforcement experience on social media.
• Ask children in your community to write letters in support of law enforcement.
• Participate in Project Blue Light - Proudly display your blue light in support of law enforcement.
• Organize an event or a rally in support of your law enforcement officers.
• Advertise your support through local media outlets/billboards.
• Post the public service announcement supplied by C.O.P.S. to your organization’s webpage or social media pages.
• Coordinate and/or participate in a Blue Blood Drive by giving blood SleevesUp campaign:
• Most importantly, if you see a police officer, thank a police officer."
