Candlelight Vigil | December 1st, 2019
Tonight was the Christmas Candlelight Vigil in Dover, held to honor and remember Delaware's fallen heroes. Hosted by Concerns Of Police Survivors (Delaware), the evening is focused upon the family members and their loved ones.
It's a well known fact that those who make the decision to serve in law enforcement roles do not have "normal lives". Such career choices - a calling, in fact - are not merely about the individual, as stress and difficulties of the job often wind up affecting the entire family - and that is where the C.O.P.S. organization comes in. Founded in 1984 and with a current membership of over 48,000, their role is to help and support those whose lives have been shattered by the death of a police officer. At tonight's ceremony, they provided relatives an opportunity to remember their loved ones as each name was read and an ornament placed on the Christmas tree at the front of the room.
You might think we would have an album of photos to share as we normally do, but things were different this evening. Moved indoors due to weather, the service could have allowed for better pictures, however it felt inappropriate to take photos at such close range. For that reason we took away with us only a few images of the building and police memorial, along with the words of several speakers.
Please keep the survivor families in your thoughts and prayers this holiday season. May God bless, watch over and keep safe all of our police officers everywhere.

Press release 9/6/19: Thank A Police Officer Day on Delmarva
Delmarva Supports Law Enforcement
"Acknowledging those who serve and protect"
For immediate release: Thank A Police Officer Day on
Delmarva to be held Saturday, September 21st, 2019
We would like to pass along the following information regarding an upcoming date. Established in 2012 by the Whole Truth Project, this event acknowledges and honors the dedication and service of those who protect our cities and towns 365 days a year. We can't think of a better time than now to thank the men and women who contribute so much to our community!
2019 marks the fourth year of local residents, area businesses and civic organizations coming together to acknowledge law enforcement serving the 14 counties of the Delmarva Peninsula. There are so many ways in which to participate, such as "adopting a department", writing cards to local officers or having a meal delivered to a station. We're asking citizens to join us and get involved so that each agency will be visited during the third week of September.
How can you learn more? Visit our Facebook page to adopt a department, find ideas for celebrating the day and download graphics to show your support. We encourage our civic leaders and elected officials to share information about this event via social media, encourage area residents to participate or host a community gathering. Let's make sure to show appreciation to our heroes in blue across Delmarva this month and thank them for their service.
