South Amboy Paints Thin Blue Line To Honor Police

South Amboy is one of many to honor police officer this way in recent weeks

SOUTH AMBOY, NJ-- South Amboy has become the latest town to paint a "thin blue line" on the road to honor their police department.

The line was painted this morning as a show of thanks for the South Amboy Police Department. It's one in a string of many blue lines painted in townships around the state.

The SAPD was appreciative, posting on Facebook: "The support of our local Officials and the community make our job a little bit easier. We are proud to serve you."
