Bill > SCR2

This concurrent resolution recognizes January 9, 2025, as "Law Enforcement Appreciation Day" in Delaware, drawing on the historical context of policing in the United States and the efforts of the National Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS) organization. The resolution traces the evolution of law enforcement from colonial-era night watches to modern police forces, highlighting the COPS organization's role in establishing National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (LEAD) in 2015 to honor the contributions and sacrifices of law enforcement officers. The document not only officially designates the specific date but also calls on Delaware legislators to express gratitude to law enforcement professionals who protect communities and serve with courage and dedication. The resolution suggests ways to celebrate the day, such as thanking police officers, sharing positive stories about law enforcement, and showing support through symbolic gestures like turning on a blue light. By passing this resolution, the Delaware legislature aims to recognize and appreciate the challenging and important work of police officers in maintaining public safety.
