This patch belongs to the United States Park Police, a group that protects national parks, monuments, and federal lands. The design shows an eagle, a symbol of the U.S. The eagle holds arrows, meaning protection, and an olive branch, meaning peace. The shield on the eagle has red, white, and blue stripes, which are the colors of the U.S. There are banners that say “United States” at the top and “Park Police” at the bottom.
History of the United States Park Police Patch:
The U.S. Park Police started in 1791 by President George Washington, making it one of the oldest police forces in the U.S. At first, it was created to protect important federal buildings in Washington, D.C. Over time, their job grew to include famous sites like the Statue of Liberty and the Golden Gate Bridge, along with many national parks.
The eagle and other symbols on the patch show the Park Police’s mission to protect America’s parks and historic places. They have been doing this important job for over 200 years.
