An effort to honor local law enforcement officers kicked-off Wednesday with a brief ceremony at the Lewis County Courthouse.
“I’ve been working on a way to show our appreciation for those who help to protect us and enforce the law,” said Lewis County Judge Executive Todd Ruckel.
The ceremony was the beginning of a month long show of appreciation for those involved in law enforcement locally.
During the ceremony Ruckel officially proclaimed August as Law Enforcement Officer Appreciation Month in Lewis County.
