Paso Robles Community Members,
I am aware of a controversy surrounding a “Thin Blue Line” flag displayed near the Public Safety Center (PSC) this past weekend. Various community members attached the flag to a light post near the corner of 10th and Park Streets. Additionally, in a display of police support, American flags, blue ribbons, and other decorations were also affixed to gates, light poles, and other public property surrounding the PSC.
