National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day

The Oconee Sheriff’s Office will join law enforcement agencies nationwide Friday in National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day and hopes that you, as an individual, will take time to show your appreciation for the men and women who, at times, risk their lives. According to the National Sheriffs’ Association, between 105 and 203 officers, on average, die in the line of duty each year. Your show of appreciation can be as little as the time it takes to personally thank a police officer or wear blue clothing this Friday in support of law enforcement.
