Thin pink line for Pink Shirt Day

It wasn't so much the thin blue line as the thin line pink for Whanganui Police on Pink Shirt Day.

Officers from Whanganui Police's youth services got in the spirit of anti-bullying event, Pink Shirt Day, by donning pink shirts.

Graham Hoskin opted for a plain pink shirt; Craig Yorston provided a note of extra colour with his pink plaid shirt; while Paul Miller really pushed the boat out with his pink police shirt.

Mr Miller said he'd had a positive response to the shirt.

"People have been very impressed to see a pink shirt that's also a police shirt," he said.
