Representing the “thin blue line” of police protection, this symbol is displayed to represent a police officer. As a flag it is sometimes flown to show support for the police forces that protect society (but must never be displayed in a manner that misrepresents a public person as a police official).
“Thin blue line” is a phrase used by law enforcement. The phrase refers figuratively to the position of law enforcement in society as a bulwark between order and anomie, or between criminals and the potential victims of crime. To honor our police officers, a friend of ours did a REALLY amazing thing. Check out PoetryMadePersonal.com
The term began as an allusion to the famous Thin Red Line, when a British regiment held off a Russian cavalry charge during the Crimean War in 1854.
