CSSAF’s Law Enforcement Appreciation Week

Respect – Honor - Remember

May 6 – 12, 2012

The California State Sheriffs’ Association Foundation (CSSAF) calls upon our fellow citizens to salute and remember the heroic men and women of law enforcement during CSSAF’s Law Enforcement Appreciation Week May 6-12.

It’s their duty to put their lives on the line. It’s our duty to honor them. Law Enforcement Appreciation week is a special time to show your appreciation for those law enforcement personnel that put their lives forth on a daily basis to protect and make our communities safe and to honor those that have made the ultimate sacrifice of giving their life in the line of duty. We hold them in the highest regard and want to honor them for the work they do. We can never repay these courageous men and women, but we can recognize their bravery.

Recognizing this week is a way to draw attention to the ongoing need for vigilance against all forms of crime. We hope that you will join us in showing appreciation for the men and women of law enforcement by making a contribution to CSSAF.
