Sixty years ago, the area encompassing Middleburg Heights, Ohio, was largely farmland. The city’s police department patch, with its red barn and onions in the middle, represents this agrarian past. The modern day office building to the right reflects the area’s growth into a progressive, suburban Cleveland community. The sun and sunbeams in the background are taken from The Great Seal of the State of Ohio, while the American flag at the base represents the city’s deep rooted nationalism. |
Idaho State Highway 46 runs through the center of the Gooding Police Department patch, as it does the city of Gooding itself. The century-old Gooding Hotel is depicted on the right side of the patch, while the left side depicts the Little Wood River that runs through the city, shadowed by the railroad tracks of the Union Pacific mainline. Above all is the American flag, which stands for the city’s devotion to safeguarding the freedoms of the nation. |
