Communities Mark Law Enforcement Appreciation Day - WNKY News 40 Television

National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day honors officers nationwide for their service and sacrifice, with 95 officers killed in the line of duty in 2025, according to the Memorial Fund.

  • On January 9, 2026, National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day recognized law enforcement across the United States, a day established in January 2015 by Concerns of Police Survivors and the Fraternal Order of Police.
  • Data from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund shows 95 officers died in the line of duty in 2022, highlighting the risks law enforcement officers face daily.
  • Positive psychology shows appreciation differs from gratitude as other-focused recognition, while neuroscience finds praise activates reward regions despite officers' cultural stoicism, which neuroplasticity can alter.
  • The public can show support by wearing blue, sending letters, or backing community programs such as National Night Out and Police Athletic League to boost morale and trust.
  • The case involves an immigration enforcement agent who shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good after she allegedly tried to ram officers, with federal officials reportedly limiting Minnesota's involvement this week.
