Good morning! There is just under a month to go until "Thank A Police Officer Day on Delmarva" and we are so grateful to have had folks stepping up to adopt departments for September 18th!
Since we've been asked for ideas, we're reposting a few suggestions for ways to participate. Please remember, there is no "right way" to observe Thank A Police Officer Day - it is up to each person and whatever your team, family, class, workplace or neighborhood decide as a project to show appreciation to our LEO's.
If you'd like to advise us of a department you will be adopting, join our private planning group or have questions, feel free to email us or send a message through the Facebook page.
Please note: we encourage anyone to contact a station first and ask what would be a suitable time for them, as not all agencies have staff available. It's also a good idea to double check their policies of accepting food items as some will request wrapped/packaged items only.
POPULAR IDEAS FOR THANK A POLICE OFFICER DAY
• Help your children make cards or write letters to officers as a “gratitude project”. Deliver with balloons and protein bars or a fruit basket.
