Have you ever wanted to thank an officer in your community but didn’t know how?
The Law Enforcement Appreciation Project is accepting donations to provide a $20 gift card to every patrol officer, nearly 300, in Marathon County as a way to show appreciation and support for the work they do. The gift cards are from local businesses able to serve beverages on the go.
“Law enforcement is undergoing a series of aggressive confrontation across the nation due to the actions of a few who do not deserve the privilege to represent their communities as law enforcement professionals,” said Marathon County Sheriff Scott Parks in a news release. “Sadly, some have elected to dismiss the entire profession as corrupt, where in reality, a majority of the law enforcement officers are dedicated public servants willing to step into harm’s way even if it means the sacrifice of their life.”
