Faded #roadmarkings are a hazard that lead to unnecessary #road #accidents that must be attended to by the local #police. Report illegible #stopstreets to the city authorities and nag them until all road markings in your community are visible.

It's the #weekend, the most difficult time of the week for #lawenforcement as alcohol flows freely and the #human race quite literally runs #riot. Put #bluetape on your #shoppinglist today to mark your car, front door and more with a #thinblueline. #backtheblue

#classified advertising is good value and well read. Why not communicate your support for your #localpolice by clubbing together with your neighbours to run a regular pro-police ad in your #localpaper? #backtheblue #bluelives #supportyourlocalpolice #thinblueline

#Chutzpah. Definition: When you protest during the day and keep your means of calling #911 close by at night.

Most #police depts don't have the budget for a #K9. They rely on donations from local residents and businesses. #SupportYourLocalPolice by finding out if you can #fundraise for a #policedog in your community. #backtheblue nationalpolicedogfoundation.…

#SupportYourLocalPolice by finding out what, if any, role you or your #neighborhoodwatch can play should a #riot ever be declared in your community. Reassure vulnerable people in person or on social media and remind neighbors that avoidance of confrontation is *usually* best.
