Tie a blue ribbon around that tree

Posted

National Police Week offers honor, remembrance, and peer support, while allowing law enforcement, survivors, and citizens to gather and pay homage to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. It includes the National Peace Officers Memorial Service and other events throughout the week that honor those that paid the ultimate sacrifice.

We are dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers and providing support to their families and colleagues. Join us in our mission to show appreciation and gratitude for the men and women who courageously protect our communities.

The Farmers Branch Citizen’s Police Academy Alumni Association encourages you to tie blue ribbons around trees in your yard during the week of May 11 – 17. This gesture symbolizes gratitude and appreciation for the men and women who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting the public. Blue ribbons are a widely recognized symbol of support for law enforcement to show appreciation and solidarity.
