The
current Fort Worth Police Department shoulder patch was adopted
in 1977.
The
shield shape of the patch is recognition of the shield as a symbol
of protection.
The
star represents the shape of the badge of Law and Order of the frontier
days and thereby its recognition of the founding of law enforcement
in this country. It is also a symbol representative of the widely
known slogan of the "Lone Star State."
The
unbroken ring lock in the star depicts unity, solidarity, and goal
continuance of purpose in law enforcement.
The
longhorn steer figure in the center of the star represents the historic
western culture of Fort Worth.
