# [Thank a Police Officer Day 2022](https://www.leonardocompany-us.com/lpr/blog/thank-a-police-officer-day-2022)

All of us at Leonardo are grateful every day for our colleagues and friends in law enforcement who have served—or are still serving—their communities. (Like two of our Regional Managers, [Jim Craige](https://www.leonardocompany-us.com/lpr/blog/meet-jim-craige-field-operations-manager) and [Rob Ryan](https://www.leonardocompany-us.com/lpr/blog/meet-rob-ryan-law-enforcement-liaison)!)

There is one day, however, that's nationally recognized as Thank a Police Officer Day, and that's the third Saturday in September.

In honor of this year's event, we're sharing a few of our favorite tweets that people and organizations across the globe posted to their accounts. Take a look!

> Behind every badge is a human being – a mother, a father, a brother, a sister, a daughter, a son.
> 
> Don't be shy to smile, wave or say thanks.
