The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s patch displays a replica of the state’s official seal. The center shield features a bald eagle, a grizzly bear, and a crescent moon. Two more grizzly bears representing courage and strength stand on a scroll inscribed with the motto, “Service and Protection.” The helmet illustrates state sovereignty, and the circular band and buckle symbolize the connection between the state and federal governments.
