“The Arkansas chapter of C.O.P.S. is proud to partner with our local blood provider, Community Blood Center of the Ozarks, to rally the community to support area patients at our Blue Blood Drive,” said Linda Craig, Arkansas C.O.P.S. President. “These community blood drives can provide healing through helping for those who have been impacted by the loss of a friend, family, or co-worker in law enforcement. We are asking everyone to come together and give blood to honor the sacrifices our men and women in blue have made and to show our support in recognition of National Law Enforcement Day.”

For every successful blood donation made at a Blue Blood Drive, CBCO will donate ten dollars to Arkansas C.O.P.S. In addition, all donors will receive a special C.O.P.S T-shirt, while supplies last.
