Thank You Blue

Thank You Blue

In honor of the annual “Thank You Blue” campaign, Legacy Productions is creating another police-friendly montage to support our law enforcement, coinciding with National Police Week in May.  

For May 2024 – a short video montage will focus on appreciation for our K9 and emotional support dogs who do their faithful service for the force and for the public at large.

“It has never been more important to recognize the thousands of men and women in law enforcement who do the right thing day in and day. Let us not lose sight of how vital their role in society is and how a small gesture of appreciation from the community can make all the difference to them”
    ~
Jeff Davis, Retired Chief, El Cajon Police Department

“Having support from the community means everything. It reminds me of why I wanted to do the job in the first place and why I will keep doing it. Because I want to stand for what is good in our community. Gratitude is powerful. When we are reminded that the community is grateful for its law enforcement officers, we align ourselves with the true purpose of the policing profession. A profession of serving others. And when we focus on the gratitude we feel for the community and their support, we are able to serve that community as compassionate guardians.”
    ~ Katy Lynch, Lieutenant, La Mesa Police Department

“Support for police is paramount for a safe and prosperous community.”
    ~ The Officer Next Door, Former Officer, Popular Blogger


VIDEO MONTAGE – DEDICATED NATIONAL POLICE WEEK 2023

The vision is to create the best bridge between law enforcement and citizens.
 
What better way than letting the public realize the real reason our officers are out there every day. 
 
This year’s montage – “I DO THIS WORK BECAUSE” – for the #ThankYouBlue campaign is complete. Share at will. 
 
Thank You to the honorable officers who hold the line on law and order and have the highest purpose in keeping us all safe. Here is this year’s montage for the #ThankYouBlue campaign from Legacy Productions. With the right intentions and oath to our foundation, we can all be “One Force” for good. 


VIDEO MONTAGE – DEDICATED NATIONAL POLICE WEEK 2022

Another opportunity to say #thankyoublue.  A video montage of appreciation for our law enforcement. Send yours in if you want to continue to “keep the peace” between officers and community. It’s time to make that collective shift.

 


Thank You Blue Day – 3 Ways To Show Our Support

3 OPTIONS – #ThankYouBlue Day May 15, 2022 – Detailed Below

  1. Appreciation – Simply thank an officer if you happen across one on May 13, through the weekend.
  2. Selfie – Respectfully request a selfie and post it on social media with the hashtag #thankyoublue. Or post one you already have.
  3. Video Clip Support – Send in a 15-20 second clip of appreciation, finishing the phrase “Thank you blue for …”

It is time!

In response to the wave of negative commentary around policing, we bring a national campaign that broadcasts a supportive voice for law and order and those who uphold it.

No longer quiet. No longer passive. No longer watching on as a silent majority. Proudly we step forward and show appreciation for our police officers and the almost-impossible job they do, day in and day out, to hold the line and be a presence for law and order. Imagine a different type of message regarding law enforcement – this one supportive, positive and uplifting.

This will go viral. It’s called #ThankYouBlue

KICK-OFF – Friday, May 15, 2022 – National Police Week

This doesn’t replace or make commentary regarding the accountability for our officers in the job they do. It will, though, focus on providing a new narrative of positive support, full of gratitude and appreciation for the honorable job done by so many in our nation.
