The patch of the Glencoe, Illinois, Department of Public Safety displays a shield that depicts the three services the agency provides to the village of Glencoe — police, fire, and emergency medical services. This shield contains a six-point star, a Maltese cross, and the Star of Life. The department has been a combined police and fire agency since 1954; its officers are cross-trained as police officers, firefighters, and paramedics.
