The Thin Black Line is a documentary film that showcases African American Law Enforcement Officers serving on the front lines. The film was created by actor and filmmaker Jim Klock, who still serves as a part-time deputy sheriff with the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office in Stafford, VA. Sheriff Decatur granted full access to the Sheriff's Office and personnel to obtain honest and unbiased insight which he hopes will not only help bridge the gap between minorities and law enforcement officers throughout America but also within his own department. The film focuses on several topics currently dominating our news outlets and social media with comprehensive and impassioned interviews from multiple officers, sharing what being a African American and a police officer means to them, especially during this volatile time in America where public tensions over racism have divided the public over the trust in American Policing.
