The patch of the Albuquerque, New Mexico, Public Schools Police Department.

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.”
