A new campaign to support cops kicks off in Fargo. It's called "Thumbs Up for Law Enforcement." WDAY Radio Host Jay Thomas started the program.

It encourages people to take a picture with an officer while giving a thumbs up-- and post it to their Facebook page.

The page is already picking up steam with nearly 800 likes today.

Burleigh County Sheriff Pat Heinert says this is a positive step toward rebuilding trust with the public. "It's a time in our nation right now that is not real positive for law enforcement and we need to turn that around and make it more of a positive situation for law enforcement," says Sheriff Pat Heinert.

The Cass County Sheriff's Department has contacted the President of the National Sheriff's Association, Danny Glick who is supporting the program too.
