State police ask for 'blue lights'
HARRISBURG - A blue light in a home or office window this holiday season will show support for fallen police and their families.
State police are asking residents to put a blue light in the window to show their support for police, including the 94 troopers killed in the line of duty since the agency's inception in 1905.
Project Blue Light was developed by Concerns of Police Survivors Inc., a nonprofit group based in Camdenton, Mo., that represents the families of 15,000 officers killed in the line of duty.
The last state trooper killed in the line of duty was Blake T. Coble, 47, who was struck by a tractor-trailer in Beaver County on Oct. 4, 2012.
