Project Blue Light began in 1988 by Mrs. Dolly Craig the mother-in-law of Danny Gleason, a Philadelphia police officer killed in the line of duty in 1986. Mrs. Craig contacted Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) and stated she would be placing blue lights in her front window to remember Officer Gleason and his widow Pam who died in an auto accident earlier in 1988. The idea has since spread nationwide and has been shared with others. The color blue symbolizes peace and the thin blue line associated with law enforcement. As the line of duty deaths have increased over the past few years now more than ever the blue light is needed as a reminder for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to help those in need. The bulb you display will send a dual message. Its light will shine bright in the night to remember those who have fallen and for those who continue to protect and serve in your community. The Waterford Police Department has on hand an amount of blue light bulbs, which we are selling for a donation of $5.00. I would like for everyone that is involved in the neighborhood watch program, and Waterford Community to illuminate the blue light(s) beginning date of December 8, 2013. Just an added note officers were reporting back to Officers Krysztofiak , Edwards and myself the residences and stores that displayed the blue lights. Thank you for supporting your Waterford Police Department.
