As an ex member (RUC) now living in Australia I thank God everyday that I do not have to look at the farce of a police service which Patten prresented to the poeple of Ulster

PSNI - Patten Stooges with No Identity
Continuity RUC

A dignified badge with a proud heritage stretching back to the mid nineteenth century. The new PSNI emblem is unspeakably ugly, cluttered and meaningless. The RUC was a fine force, irrefutably so, and irrespective of how much bile and vitriol its detractors vomit up. It stood for law and order when lawless criminal scum sought to bring society into chaos. The lies and hollow propoganda of those who sided with terrorists and their fellow travellers cannot dim the memory of this magnificent body of men in women in the minds of those who knew them. They were greatly hated by the evildoers and apologists for terrorism, much loved by those who respected law and liberty. God bless the RUC, we shall never see their like again.

I am happy that the RUC badge was replaced, and that that mockery of a Police force was disbanded. The PSNI emblem represents compromise. Fortunetly Irish Nationalists can understand compromise, now that they have experienced some social and civil equality. I can not say the same for some Unionists who have no concept of compromise or national unity.

It's a shame that those elected by the people of Ulster, who supported the RUC and themembers of the RUC were stabbed in the back by these same politicans, who became allies of the PIRA, including Prime Minister Blair.
The RUC was the best police force in the world.
God Bless all those who served in the RUC.

There was no reason for the RUC "Badge of Courage" to be replaced, except for the that fact that Unionist Ulster "politicans" sold out the people of British Ulster, the RUC, former members of the RUC and those who died for Queen and Country. to a cold blooded murderering terrorist organization and a corrupt Prime Minister, namely Tony Blair. Who was selling out Ulster from day one as the PM of the U.K.
And by the way, the new PSNI badge is one of the biggest eye sores of all police badges in the world, the designer/designers must have been spaced out on drugs when they designed. And as another writer has said, Ulster is part of the United Kingdom and should have the proper crown on all police insigina's of the PSNI and on a better badge than the the trash of a badge they have now.
The RUC badge should replace the disgraceful PSNI badge!
I'm a retired American Police Officer whose proud to have had cousins who served in the RIC, "B" Specials and the RUC from the 1880's to 1990.
Lets hope someday that some new politicans are elected who will have the back bone to bring back the RUC, which should have never been disabanded in the first place!

Someone asked why the PSNI badge does not have a crown? The simple answer to this is because it would have upset Sinn Fein/IRA, and we can't go upsetting the people who spent thirty years killing security force members and civilians. By the way I went with my family today to the RUC GC Garden at Police Headquarters. For those who have not been, go. It's well worth seeing.

As this country is part of the UK why doed the PSNI badge not have the Queens Crown on the top like another Police Force in the UK. The RUC Badge was the of Courage

In spite of every survey conducted in relation to policing changes under the failed Good Friday Agreement and the Patten Report, and despite an overwhelming majority of Roman Catholics in favour of keeping the badges and emblems, the British Govt. still flew in the face of democracy and bowed to the wants of the terrorists in favour of political expediency.

I don't want this to become angry chat room banter, but I wonder will it change to become 'An Garda Síochána' in my lifetime, or will the kids see it.

The Royal Ulster Constabulary GC was the finest police force in the world, feared only by the guilty.

Unfortunately the rebrand of the RUC is no cure for Ulster's sectarian disease.

The badge was 'a symbol' for everything bad about the RUC! It had no choice but to go! RUC RIP

We particularly welcome the fact that the new badge (of PSNI) celebrates our traditions rather than disowns them.

Interesting choice this one. It demonstrates the power of symbolism. It makes me think of the recently new South Afican flag, symbols for the former Soviet States, etc...

The emblem contains the harp and shamrock, both of which were around a long time before the IRA. Long before English people went there, the shamrock was growing for thousands of years in the boggy ground. It is a very appropriate emblem.

I was very sad to see the sprig of shamrock and harp appropriately shackled by a royal belt replaced by an all inclusive "something for everyone in the audience" mark for the PSNI (Police Service of Northern Ireland). ...BRING BACK THE SPRIG ’N’ CROWN !!!
