Please join the University of Maryland Police Department for Blessings of the Badge/ Faith & Blue Service on Friday, October 8, 2021, at 10 a.m., at the University of Maryland Memorial Chapel. At this event, we will offer prayers and blessings of protection for all officers, their families and community members. Light refreshments will be served following the service on the patio. National Faith & Blue Weekend (Faith & Blue) is a collaborative initiative that builds bridges and breaks down biases through activities and outreach amongst law enforcement professionals and the communities they serve. National Faith & Blue Weekend is based on the premise that strong communities are built on mutual respect, trust and understanding. Law enforcement entities and faith-based groups are key pillars of a local community, and when they work together, neighborhoods thrive.
