It is believed to have originated back in the 60’s as a representation of the cultural brotherhood of policing. A time when police were struggling to relate to the population…and that same population looked at them as a negative, manipulative organization.
Most recently it has been recognized as a symbol representing the fact that police officers stand as a thin line that protects society from evil and chaos.
Civilians who use it or show the symbol some way are saying they support the police force and understand their importance in society. It is a sign of respect.
The most obvious part is the color. Local Police uniforms have consistently been blue throughout the modern history of policing. What better color to use, than the one we all associate with our local police force?
True Patriot Flag Company has taken the Thin Blue Line one step further. They have beautifully integrated it into the American Flag! This exemplifies pride in your local police, but also in your country.
