Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D.)
On January 9th of each year, partnering organizations in support of law enforcement officers nationwide promote Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D.). We ask our nation’s citizens to take the LEAD in support of law enforcement. Those citizens who appreciate law enforcement are encouraged to take time on January 9th to show law enforcement officers that they recognize the difficult and sometimes impossible career they have chosen in service to us all.
Visit L.E.A.D. for ways to show support for law enforcement.
