The Rhode Island House of Representatives has introduced a resolution to celebrate "National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day" on January 9, 2025. This day is dedicated to honoring law enforcement professionals who work to protect the public and their property. The resolution acknowledges the rigorous training that these officers undergo and highlights their commitment to serving the community.
The resolution encourages citizens to express their appreciation for law enforcement through various means, such as wearing blue clothing, sending cards or letters of gratitude, and participating in the annual Blue Blood Drive from January 1 to January 14. Additionally, the resolution directs the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy to the Rhode Island State Lodge Fraternal Order of Police.
