The Way Cleveland Police Say Thank You Will Touch Your Heart

For the water, the pizza, the donations, the hugs, the high fives and the expressions of appreciation, these Blue Lives say "thank you."

Cleveland Police and police officers from around the country who worked in the city for a week to help protect the Republican National Convention wanted to make sure everyone knew how much they appreciated the donations, hugs, prayers, and expressions of support from Greater Cleveland residents.

In all, 24 people were arrested during the week, which was mostly peaceful and collegial. The Cleveland Division of Police posted this video to YouTube on Sunday.
