T
he International Association
of Chiefs of Police launched
a campaign to highlight the
diversity and commitment of those
in the law enforcement profession.
#WhyIWearTheBadge showcases
thousands of sworn officers from
around the world. The badge is a
symbol of courage, strength, and
integrity. With the display of the
badge comes great responsibility.
Through photos, videos,
and other testimonials, law
enforcement officers
began sharing their
#WhyIWearTheBadge
stories and statements. The
Arlington Police Department
launched a video and photo
campaign on all of its social
media platforms to highlight
various officers throughout
the department.
The feedback from the
public was overwhelmingly
positive. The community
rallied behind
the department
and its efforts to
humanize officers
that love working
in Arlington.
Here’s a sampling
of the content
that reached thousands
of people through the
power of social media.
