Hicksville joined the Blue Ribbon campaign to show support for police officers.

As News 12 has reported, the Nassau County Legislature started the initiative, asking residents to place a blue ribbon on their property in support of law enforcement.

"At a time when the actions of a few seem to lump the whole together, we want to make sure that all of those police officers who are here for us day in and day out, doing the right thing, know they have the backup of the citizens and residents," says Nassau County Legislator Rose Marie Walker.

This comes as officers continue to battle perceived anti-police sentiments with calls to defund the police.
