Law enforcement families nationwide will be decorating for the holidays in blue again this winter, honoring and remembering those law enforcement officers who have given their lives in service to the profession and thanking those officers who continue to work America's increasingly dangerous streets each and every day of the year.

In 1988, C.O.P.S. received a letter from Mrs. Dolly Craig of Philadelphia, PA, stating she'd be putting blue lights in her window that holiday season to remember her son-in-law, Danny Gleason, who was killed in the line of duty in 1986, and her daughter Pam, Danny's widow, who was killed in an auto accident earlier that year. She thought others might like to share her idea. Dolly's idea is now her legacy. We shared it with others, and nationwide thousands of blue lights shine in support of law enforcement during the holidays.

The color blue is a symbol of peace. Put blue lights in your window, decorate your tree in blue, trim the outside of your home or the police station in blue lights. Let our blue lights shine in support of law enforcement this season.You will be sending a dual message that you support America's peacekeepers and that you hope the coming year will be a year of peace.
