The Thin Blue Line is a symbol used by law enforcement, originating in the United Kingdom but now prevalent in the United States and Canada to commemorate fallen law enforcement officers and to symbolize the relationship of law enforcement in the community as the protectors of civilians from criminal elements. It is an analogy to the term Thin Red Line. Each stripe on the emblem represents certain respective figures: the blue center line represents law enforcement, the top black stripe represents the public whilst the bottom represents the criminals. The idea behind the graphic is that law enforcement (the blue line) is what stands between the violence and victimization by criminals of the would-be victims of crime. Proponents of the symbol assert that the identifier is intended to show support for police.〔 In the wake of controversies over police shootings, the Thin Blue Line Flag has become popular among law enforcement personnel, their families and supporters. ==Variations== After the popularity of the Thin Blue Line emblem for law enforcement came a number of other "thin lines". *Thin Orange Line – Search and Rescue Personnel, sometimes used by civilians possessing a concealed carry weapon permit *Thin Red Line Firefighters, *Thin Silver Line – Corrections officers *Thin Yellow Line – Security Guards, Loss Prevention Officers, Tow Truck Drivers〔Face Book Group titled: "Thin Yellow Line" that on 10-17-2014 had over 2100 members〕https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_guards *The Thin Green Line – Park Rangers https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_rangers *Thin Gold Line – Dispatcher * Thin NWU Line – United States Navy * Thin ACU Line – United States Army * Thin Tiger Stripe Line – Air Force *Thin White Line – Emergency medical services. The thin white line differs from other thin lines in that the background is blue instead of black, with a white line crossing horizontally through the middle. EMS also still uses the "Thin Orange Line" which is primarily used by Search and Rescue. *Thin Blue Line with Lightning Bolt – S.W.A.T. (Special Weapons And Tactics) *Thin Black Line - Nurses. The thin black line differs from other thin lines because it is a white background with a horizontal black line through the middle. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Thin Blue Line (emblem)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
