STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX – Arizona State Representative Lupe Diaz invites all Arizonans to join him and House Republicans in honoring the dedication and sacrifice of law enforcement officers across the state and nation on National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Observed annually on January 9th, National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day provides an opportunity to recognize the service of law enforcement officers.

“In a time when some mismanaged cities and misguided politicians are still pushing to defund law enforcement, Arizona House Republicans stand firmly and proudly with our law enforcement professionals,” said Representative Diaz. “We deeply appreciate – and will continue to support – the brave men and women who work to protect our families and maintain public safety in our communities.”

On National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, people are encouraged show their support by thanking an officer, wearing blue, or sharing messages of appreciation on social media using the #LawEnforcementAppreciationDay hashtag. Lupe Diaz is a Republican member of the Arizona House of Representatives serving Legislative District 19 in Southeastern Arizona and is Chairman of the House Land, Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee.
