CANTON, GA (Jan. 9, 2024) - Police officers put their lives on the line every day for their communities. Their unwavering dedication to public service is often overlooked and underappreciated.

Regardless of whether they work at the local, state, or federal level, their duties require endless commitment. These positions can demand long hours and take them away from their families, and their roles can be unpredictable.

On this National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, Tues., Jan. 9, we have a unique opportunity to recognize and thank these individuals for their service. Let's show our appreciation and gratitude for their bravery and hard work by wearing blue, sharing love on social media, writing a note of appreciation, dropping off snacks and treats, or by just thinking of all those who serve our community.

"We appreciate the hard work by the women and men of this team and all they do to keep the peace, provide assistance, and represent our City as ambassadors." - City Manager Billy Peppers
