GARFIELD RIDGE — Neighborhood porches are glowing blue in honor of police officers.
“I said, ‘You can have all you want,’” said company owner Mike Noonan. “I’ve got a son-in-law that’s a Chicago copper."
So far the campaign has raised $2,500 for Dallas families.
“We want people to participate and be active in their community,” said Janja Taylor, a Garfield Watch Neighborhood Watch board member. “If they can back up police officers, maybe they can learn how to be more self-sufficient in taking care of themselves and becoming more neighborly together.”
A drive through the neighborhood, known for its heavy concentration of cops and firefighters, shows Garfield Ridge residents have come together to support local authorities.
Blue ribbons cover trees and light poles for blocks.

“It’s just a small gesture,” Torres said. "It shows a lot of support.”
