Attorney General Moody Wants Florida Painted Blue to Honor Police

TALLAHASSEE -- Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody says the Old Capitol Building in Tallahassee will be lit up in blue all week in honor of National Police Week. Moody, whose husband works in federal law enforcement, also plans to light up their home in blue. Other landmarks going under blue lights include the Sunshine Skyway Bridge across Tampa Bay. 12 Florida law enforcement officers have lost their lives this year, about double the number from this time last year, with nearly half due to violent, felonious acts.

Moody said: “Our law enforcement officers chose a life of service when signing up for this noble profession—understanding the risk involved every time they leave for work. I am thrilled to participate in this movement in honor of National Police Week, and we should always take time to pay tribute to the men and women of Florida law enforcement."

Moody spoke about the Paint the Town Blue campaign at an appearance in Plant City Tuesday.
