Vancouver Police Department Crest - Official Emblem & Symbolism #2022427 (License: Personal Use)

The crest features a royal crown symbolizing allegiance to the Crown, flanked by golden maple leaves representing Canada. At its center is a shield divided into sections: wavy blue and white lines for the Pacific Ocean, a green chevron with a First Nations thunderbird motif, and white dogwood flowers-the provincial flower of British Columbia. The Latin motto “Serva Mores” (“Preserve the Customs”) encircles the shield, while a banner below reads “Vancouver Police.”
