| Madison, New Jersey, as indicated by its police department’s patch, is known as the Rose City because of the many immigrants who worked local gardens and supplied roses to New York City florists. As land became more valuable, the gardens were sold off for corporate use, but the city remains proud of its heritage. |
The patch of the Ballwin, Missouri Police Department features depictions of the Harrison-Schmidt-Dahlke Log House, the oldest home in the city; the Barn at Lucerne; and the logo of The Pointe at Ballwin Commons community center. These locations represent the past, present, and future. The oak leaf and sunrays reflect the strength of the community. |
