L.E.A.D. - Law Enforcement Appreciation Day
2024-01-09 | WA
On January 9th, 2024, partnering organizations in support of law enforcement officers nationwide will promote National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D.).
In light of negativity directed toward law enforcement nationally, there is a need to show law enforcement officers that Washington State residents recognize the difficult and sometimes impossible career they have chosen, in public service to us all.
Washington State residents can show their support in a number of ways:
• Change your profile picture on social media to ours below, or from our Resource library
• Wear blue clothing in support of law enforcement.
• Send a note of support to your local police department or agency.
• Share a story about a positive law enforcement experience on our social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).
• Ask your children to write letters in support of law enforcement.
• Participate in Project Blue Light – Proudly display your blue light in support of law enforcement.
• Organize an event or a rally in support of your law enforcement officers.
• Participate in the National Blue Blood drive during the entire month of January by donating blood at any Bloodworks Northwest location, using the code ‘HERO’
Most importantly, if you see a law enforcement officer, thank a law enforcement officer!

C.O.P.S. Outward Bound Adventure
2025-07-07 - 2025-07-13 | Canyonlands National Park – Cataract Canyon, UT, Utah
The Outward Bound® Adventure is planned for teenagers and young adults (ages 15 – 20) who are children of law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty, as determined by C.O.P.S. criteria.
Outward Bound® is an adventure-based program structured to inspire character development, self-discovery, compassion for others, and to actively engage in creating a better world. This program is designed to challenge surviving children to overcome the obstacles they face in their lives after losing their parent to a line-of-duty death.
This year, Outward Bound® Adventure is a water rafting trip taking place on the Colorado River through the Canyonlands National Park in Cataract Canyon, Utah. The Colorado River is a vital source of water for 40 million people. Its extensive system of dams, reservoirs, and aqueducts divert almost its entire flow for agricultural irrigation and urban water supply. Outward Bound® will give participants the opportunity to recognize and navigate various river obstacles, work as a team with other surviving children, and feel the exhilaration of the rushing rapids.
Participants who choose to attend Outward Bound® will not be eligible to participate in Young Adults Camp. A $300 deposit is required for this camp. After the camp concludes and all participants have completed the camp, the $300 deposit will be fully refunded. If an Outward-Bound participant needs to cancel, please notify us by Friday, June 13th, to receive a full deposit refund. If a participant cancels after this date, they will forfeit their deposit for the camp. Outward Bound Adventure will be offered every other year; the next camp will take place in 2027.
We hope that by attending Outward Bound® Adventure, surviving children will get a chance to relax in a comfortable setting that is removed from their everyday life, where they can make everlasting friendships with peers who can truly understand what they are going through.
