The design on the Thin Blue Line US Flag comes from this history.
The Thin Blue Line, with roots in 19th-century British military tradition, the phrase was applied to policing in the early 1900s and popularized by LAPD Chief William H. Parker in the 1950s, as a symbol of police as the “line” between order and chaos. The phrase gained broader cultural prominence in the late 1980s, boosted in part by Errol Morris’s 1988 documentary of the same name, which investigated the murder of a Dallas police officer. It honors the 23,000+ U.S. officers killed in the line of duty since 1791, representing the dedication of law enforcement and the nation’s gratitude for their protection.
