"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.

Thank A Police Officer Day on Delmarva | September 21st, 2019
The 8th Annual "Thank A Police Officer Day" will be taking place on Saturday, September 21st, 2019. Launched in 2012 by the Whole Truth Project, this date is observed nationally on the third Saturday in September, and each year communities across the Delmarva Peninsula, local residents, businesses and civic organizations come together to thank local law enforcement.
We invite you to join us in acknowledging our law enforcement professionals by adopting a department, hosting an event or providing lunch or dinner to an agency that day. Our goal since 2015 when we began this local project was to show appreciation for the men and women who serve and protect our neighborhoods, towns and cities. See the event on Facebook here!
This event has only been possible through the help and generosity of so many local residents - it is truly a community effort which takes caring people from all over Delmarva. For additional information on ways to participate, ideas and albums from previous years, please see our Facebook page. For questions or to sign up to sponsor a department for September 21st send us a message. Thank you for helping us to say THANK YOU as "Delmarva Goes Blue" in September!
DSLEO was created for law enforcement of the Delmarva Peninsula (Delaware and the eastern shore areas of Maryland and Virginia), along with advocating respect for all officers.
