Good for the Detroit Police! That has got to be one hell of a tough job.

I wouldn't be surprised if an SF Vet is in charge of the unit or at least had something to do with the design of the patch.
I think it is a tribute to SF. Now if it were associated with a less noble organization such as the Kerry Canoeers, I would take exception.

Looks funny to me.
Look at Army patches and tell me how many swords or arrows you see point down.
There is a heraldic reason for that that they seem to have missed.

I read about this somewhere, but I'm not sure it was Detroit. From what I remember the plank holders were indeed formers.
I don't like it, but like Reaper said...
'sides, its just a patch...
