Pens for LEOs

[Gregf]

I want to throw an idea out.
l send TBL and K9 pens to local LEOs when something catches my eye on the media.
I follow a FB page that supports Ohio officers.
I'm seeing an increasing trend of officers suffering from PTSD.
Within the past 2 months two Ohio police officers have committed suicide.

There has to be a way we can reach out to support them as we do the troops.
I think a pen is a powerful indication of support.


Ideas?

I'm not sure of the meaning of your acronyms but I think I get your point. I have a friend that's a retired police officer and we made a couple of thin blue line pens for fun. I asked if he minded if I gave mine to the Sachse P.D. and he said he didn't care. Long story short I ended up making 11 pens. 5 went to the officers that patrol my neighborhood and I donated 6 for an annual banquet they were holding for the entire City P.D. I gave the neighborhood officers a Thin Blue Line blank on a black enamel and gun metal bolt action kit. They loved them and seemed to receive them well. I thought about make one for each person on the force until I found out there's 35 of them. Sachse is a small town but my bank account is way smaller so that's when I decided to go with the ones that watch my house.
