It's that time of year again! Thank A Police Officer Day is September 17th, 2016

Last summer a group of residents set heard about a holiday honoring law enforcement professionals and wanted to get involved locally. "Thank A Police Officer Day" is traditionally observed on the third Saturday in September. Created by the Whole Truth Project, it is a national event and here on Delmarva we wanted to visit and recognize our local agencies on that day.

The initial goal was to cover ten to twenty locations around southern Delaware and Worcester County but as the word got out the community jumped in. Schools, groups and kids made and wrote notes to officers, people set up locations for cards to be dropped off cards and where you could add your comments to jumbo-sized messages of support. It grew as more people asked how they could get involved and by September 19th more than forty separate agencies had been visited by local residents. In addition, wanting to send some love to Baltimore, we had a number of giant cards which were signed all over Delmarva and then delivered to each precinct in Baltimore City.

The love and support for our men and women was amazing and we can't wait to do it again! Take a look at the slideshow from last year ~ https://youtu.be/OpF8I_qkZkA.
