This patch represents the Alabama Marine Police. It shows a strong eagle holding a scale, which stands for justice. The eagle is a symbol of strength and protection. The scales show fairness in law enforcement.

The patch is shaped like the state of Alabama. The words “Alabama Marine Police” circle the eagle. This shows the patch is for the officers who work on Alabama’s lakes, rivers, and coast. They help keep the water safe for boaters.

History of Alabama Marine Police:

The Alabama Marine Police was created to protect the state’s waters. They make sure people follow the rules when using boats. The patch shows the time when the Marine Police worked on their own before joining the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA). Today, they continue to keep the waterways safe, do rescue work, and protect the environment.
