This Saturday, January 9th, people all across the country will take time out to celebrate National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day and give thanks to law enforcement officers who make a difference in their lives every day of the year.
The holiday was first celebrated in 2015 by a group of organizations who wanted to thank officers, who are often taken away from their families and have to work long hours in order to keep people safe.
There are several ways you can show your support for law enforcement officers.
You can do something simple like sending a thank you note to your favorite officer.
You can also wear a blue shirt or shine a blue porch light to show your support.
You can buy Officer Avilla lunch!
But no matter what you do, please take a moment during the day to appreciate everything that these men and women do for us.
