New South Wales, Australia, Police Force

The New South Wales, Australia, Police Force patch presents a pale blue circle displaying the state’s seal above a soaring wedge-tailed eagle, Australia’s largest bird of prey. It carries a scroll bearing the name of the Greek goddess Nemesis, signifying retribution and justice. These are encased within a ring bearing the name of the force. The ring is surrounded by a laurel wreath surmounted by a crown. Below is a pale blue ribbon brandishing the agency’s motto, “Culpam poena premit comes,” which, translated from Latin, means “Punishment swiftly follows crime.”
