History of the Patch
To give a brief history, the patch of the
Madison Police Department was authorized by the Madison Police and Fire Commission and
became part of the official uniform August 1, 1963.
Madison's
recognized status as a cultural and governmental center is signified by the replica of the
Badger State's Capitol Building. This building boasts the second largest dome in the
United States, and is only inches shorter than our Nation's Capitol in Washington D.C.
Known nationwide as one of America's most beautiful cities
and in the midwest as the "City of the Four Lakes," Madison's great recreational
potential is symbolized by silhouettes woven in blue conforming to the shoreline of Lakes
Mendota and Monona, two of the larger lakes which are situated within a six block walk of
the Capitol Square.
Sincerely,
Noble Wray
Chief of Police
