If you are a supporter of the emergency services, then there are a few ways you can display and show your support.
For years now, various businesses have been selling ‘thin line’ velcro patches to let people celebrate and share their support for the emergency services.
The ‘thin line’ patches can be worn by anyone who supports the ‘thin’ blue (police), green (ambulance), red (fire), orange (lifeboat) or purple (coastguard).
We have found four examples on Amazon of where you can buy you ‘patch of support’ for the emergency services:
1. ‘Thin Blue Line Badge’ – a great way of showing your support of the police as they risk their lives, daily, to uphold the law and protect the vulnerable.

You can also show your support for the Lifeboat Service and the Coastguard by searching for the thin ‘orange’ and thin ‘purple’ lines respectively.
Unfortunately, we could not find the ‘orange’ or ‘purple’ patches being sold on Amazon.
