Thin Blue Line Radio
We are a podcast focussed on commemorating those officers who have fallen in the line of duty. Sharing their story, we delve into all those final selfless acts of these brave officers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in protecting the public & their communities. We conduct a monthly roll call through recent decades, specifically 1970 to present day, of all those who have been lost in the line of duty. During this period we will spotlight one particular case and delve into their story. We will also pay attention to those who have fallen, through the centuries. We plan on releasing 'Special Editions' focussing on matters that effect Policing locally, nationally and around the world. Always Remembered, Never Forgotten.
