The concept of police as "the line that prevents society from descending into violent chaos." The "blue" in "Thin Blue Line" refers to the blue color of many police department uniforms.
As a symbol the concept is represented as a literal thin blue line and is usually overlaid atop a black and white version of a country or state's flag.
