Thank A Police Officer Day 2016 | Get Involved, Delmarva!

Attention artists, card-makers, letter-writers!! Art teachers, troop leaders, parents and community organizers.....do you want to hold a card-making and signing event? We are collecting cards to be distributed across Delmarva for Thank a Police Officer Day on September 17th. This is a great group project! Let's make sure that all our officers receive a note on September 17th.

Did we forget so soon?

Today's interaction, although small, to me seemed to speak volumes. When I thought it over a couple of hours later, I felt it showed that support for our law enforcement still isn't front and center in many places. It surprised me to hear the officer say "we don't see that much around here" - almost as if that way of life has become accepted. I hate that - I hate they are out there doing jobs that many of us couldn't do - and it's become the norm to see so little respect or appreciation?? I'm grateful that he took the time to tell me it mattered - but wish it wasn't so rare for them to notice that people care. I wish we as a society had begun to shift in that new direction that it seemed we leaned towards just a few months ago during Thank a Police Officer Day and again on January 9th. But it didn't last - and it sure seems that we owe them a hell of a lot more respect than what they are seeing....still.

Delaware Law Enforcement Memorial

This memorial for fallen police officers of Delaware is located on The Green in downtown Dover. There is not a lot of information I could find online and did not locate a website or facebook page so this is a collection of various links gathered from around the web.
