National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D.)

C.O.P.S. Concern for Police Survivors 

NEWCOM supports law enforcement officers nationwide by promoting National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D.). There is a need to show law enforcement officers nationwide that our citizens recognize the difficult and sometimes impossible career they have chosen to protect and serve. On January 9th each year we make sure we stop by local agencies to drop off cards of appreciation, buy them lunch, or simply say thank you.

Each year, Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) calls our nation’s citizens to action in support of law enforcement.

January 9th is Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, and it's the perfect time to show our support for the police. I really look forward to this day each year when the NEWCOM team gets to visit local agencies and express our gratitude for their hard work and commitment to keeping our communities safe.

Kristine LoomerSales & Operations Manager

As someone who professionally supports the law enforcement industry, it's great to have a day to genuinely say thank you. On Jan 9, which has been designated as Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, the team at NEWCOM does just that. With each team member across the country visiting their local departments we are given the opportunity to show our support and appreciation to the men and women of law enforcement.

National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day is a reminder to honor and thank those who serve with courage, dedication, and selflessness. It's a moment to acknowledge the sacrifices made daily by law enforcement officers, who protect our communities, uphold justice, and face challenges many of us will never fully understand. Their unwavering commitment to keeping us safe, often at great personal cost, deserves our respect, gratitude, and support — not just this day, but every day.

Crystal BittleSales Engineer

My appreciation for supporting our law enforcement community has deepened immensely since joining the NEWCOM team. While my family has always proudly flown the Back the Blue flag at home, my company takes it a step further by honoring this cause every January 9th. We hope to brighten the day of men and women who serve in law enforcement and show gratitude for their unwavering commitment to making our communities safer each and every day
