Governor Pat McCrory has proclaimed January 9, 2015 "National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day" in North Carolina. The National Fraternal Order of Police and C.O.P.S. (Concerns of Police Survivors) have designated January 9th as National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.

"Regardless of the dangers, thousands of uniformed officers across our state put on a badge and go to work to protect the people of this great state," Governor McCrory said. "Law enforcement agencies are essential in safeguarding the rights and freedoms of the citizens of our state. I encourage everyone to take time to thank law enforcement officials and recognize the sacrifices they make daily for our safety."

Forty-four North Carolina law enforcement officers have lost their lives in the line of duty over the past 10 years. More than 24,000 law enforcement officers were assaulted in the line of duty during the 10-year period 2004 to 2013.
