Project Blue Light

~ Support Project Blue Light ~

Project Blue Light began in 1988

when the surviving mother-in-law

of a Philadelphia (PA) police officer killed in the line of duty

told COPS(Concerns of Police Survivors)

that she would have two blue lights

in her window for the holidays,

one in memory of her son-in-law and

one in memory of her daughter, the officer’s widow,

who had been killed in a car crash that year.

COPS adopted this idea as a way that everyone

could honor the officers who serve and protect us

while remembering those who

have been killed in the line of duty.

Project Blue Light has grown steadily as a way

of remembering our departed law enforcement officers

across America and beyond.

The concept is a simple one ~

Place a single blue light in your window or light fixture

in memory of fallen officers.

Most people won’t know its significance,

but the ones to whom it matters most, will.

Hopefully it will make us all more mindful

of the best traditions of policing,

and the need for their personal vigilance

to insure their safety and survival.
