"Thin blue line" installed in Ashland

ASHLAND, Ky. (WSAZ) -- A "thin blue line" has been installed in Ashland to show support for law enforcement.

According to the Ashland Police Department Facebook page, the line was installed Wednesday morning.

The "thin blue line" can be found inside the double yellow lane lines on 17th street . It goes from the crosswalk at the intersection of Greenup Avenue to the alley near the police department.

"I am very serious about memorializing not only our officers lost in the past but those across our nation. It is also important to show support for our living officers from our agency and to those who come to our facility to work or train." Chief Todd Kelley said in the post.
