The emblem adopted by
the national Fraternal Order of Police is designed to
remind the membership of the duties that are expected of
them as a citizen, a police officer and a member of the
lodge. The five-cornered star tends to remind us of the
allegiance we owe to our Flag and is a symbol of the
authority with which we are entrusted. It is an honor
the people we serve bestow upon us. They place their
confidence and trust in us; serve them proudly.
Midway between the
points and center of the star is a blue field
representative of the thin blue line protecting those we
serve. The points are of gold, which indicates the
position under which we are now serving. The background
is white, the unstained color representing the purity
with which we should serve. We shall not let anything
corrupt be injected into our order. Therefore, our
colors are blue, gold and white.
The open eye is the eye
of vigilance ever looking for danger and protecting all
those under its care while they sleep or while awake.
The clasped hands denote friendship. The hand of
friendship is always extended to those in need of our
comfort.
The circle surrounding
the star midway indicates our never ending efforts to
promote the welfare and advancement of this order.
Within the half circle over the centerpiece is our
motto, "Jus, Fides, Libertatum" which translated means,
"Law is a Safeguard of Freedom."
