DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - The Dallas Police Association and Clear Channel Outdoor have come together to launch a digital billboard ad campaign to promote unity after last Thursday's deadly ambush shooting of police in which five officers died, in downtown Dallas.

The digital billboards will be featured throughout Dallas.

"The outpouring of support and appreciation we have received over the past few days has lifted the spirits of Dallas officers who are often frustrated by the negative portrayal of our profession," said Ron Pinkston, President of the Dallas Police Association. "We can't say thank you enough to Clear Channel Outdoor for their show of support that is so important to uniting our city after last week's tragedy."

"We are grateful for the sacrifices that law enforcement officers make every day to keep us safe and Clear Channel Outdoor Americas is honored to join with the Dallas Police Association in support of all law enforcement officers and citizens of Dallas. We #StandWithDallas."
