This sculpture sits on the wall of police headquarters in the city of Richmond, Virginia. It is called "Thin Blue Line".
You can see that the blue line runs down from the top of the building to the bottom of the face.
It was made from stainless steel by Michael Stutz.
“Police officers put
the badge on every morning, not knowing for sure if they'll come home at night
to take it off.”

Blue Bloods is one of my favorite programs. I like that they call them shields rather than badges… I wonder if other localities do the same.
What an intersting way to honor police. I love it. And you, dear Ginnie, always find the best things on your excursions.
This is so cool! Our police need all the support they can get.
Very unique.. and HIGH FIVES to our police. I like the quote, thank you for sharing!!!
Very striking.
Such an extraordinary sculpture!
I love that! I wish more people would realize that quote!
What an amazing sculpture. Thanks for sharing.
I like the quote and the thin blue line for all those lost in law enforcement. Usually its seen across a badge of a fallen officer.

A very interesting sculpture and a powerful yet poignant quote.
p.s. I also like the pretty blue background you are using on your blog :)
Being a police officer is 22nd on the list of most dangerous occupations in the United States. That means that 21 other workers are less likely to return home at night.
Intriguing sculpture that hints of the unexpected that officers face regularly.
Well that's just so cool!
I'm surprised the leftist rabble rousers in Richmond let that stay up! But I'm glad it's there. xoxo
