The Estes Park, Colorado, Police Department patch highlights the town’s location as the gateway to the 265,000-acre Rocky Mountain National Park. Each summer the park receives over three million visitors who tour the majestic and rugged mountain peaks and valleys. The patch features one of the area’s most abundant wildlife species, the 5-point bull elk, with snow-capped Rocky Mountains in the background and the Colorado State seal in the foreground.
