Law Enforcement Appreciation Day

Today (January 9) is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day—a day where the nation gets to give their gratitude to law enforcement officers and organizations for all the work they do.

According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF), there are over 900,000 sworn law enforcement officers serving in the U.S. which it says is the highest figure ever. Out of these, 12 percent are female.
