The patch of the Albuquerque, New Mexico, Public Schools Police Department depicts an eagle with outstretched wings, representing protection, and a book, signifying education. Written on the pages of the book are the six pillars of the Character Counts program—caring, respect, fairness, citizenship, responsibility, and trustworthiness. A banner at the bottom of the patch displays the agency’s motto: “Safeguarding Our Future.”
