This charity provide invaluable support to those left behind when an Officer dies - not unlike Help for Heroes who support our Armed Forces. The design is a thin blue line on a British Flag - representing our Police & their allegiance to the British Public.\r\n\r\nHowever, a minority of Police Chiefs are voicing concern that this design may cause \"offence\". Strangely, no-one has said they ARE offended & no-one can identify who MIGHT be offended - but as a result, Officers are being asked to remove them.\r\n\r\nPLEASE, therefore, can the Prime Minister intervene to ensure that NO Police Officer will be penalised or chastised for wearing a Thin Blue Line Patch on their uniform - as this small gesture would be HUGELY appreciated across the country.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2015-02-14T13:51:06.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:30:32.101Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:46:05.052Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2015-02-14T13:51:06.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
