Symbolism
Badge
The blue and yellow colours are taken from the emblem used by the City of Camrose. The wheat symbolizes the rural farming of the area, while the cogwheel represents manufacturing industries. The two reflective halves of the blue oval evoke Mirror Lake, traversed by a main road represented by the yellow stripe. The interlaced symbol recalls the abundance of green spaces in the city, and also represents the strong community connection between the police members and the city residents as they work cooperatively for the community’s well-being.
Motto
Not applicable.
