The Thin Blue Line

In law enforcement there is a saying "The thin blue line". The Thin Blue Line is the internationally recognized phrase that symbolizes the profession. The blue line represents each law enforcement officer that protects our citizens each day. The black background was designed as a constant reminder of our fallen brother and sister officers. When an officer is killed in the line of duty a black band with a thin blue line is worn over the badges of other officers. I took this photo at memorial service for the 4 Lakewood officers that were killed.
