Royal Canadian Mounted Police RCMP Officer’s Cap Badge

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Officer’s Cap Badge is an official insignia worn by commissioned officers of Canada’s national law enforcement agency. This badge typically features a gilt or brass construction, incorporating the distinctive RCMP crest. Central elements include the bison head surmounted by a crown, encircled by a wreath of maple leaves and a scroll bearing the motto “Maintiens le Droit.” The badge is fastened to the front of the officer’s peaked cap and serves as a clear identifier of rank and affiliation within the RCMP. Its design reflects both the historical traditions and ceremonial image of the force since the badge’s establishment in the late 19th century. The RCMP cap badge remains an important piece of Canadian police regalia and is sought after by collectors of militaria and police memorabilia for its craftsmanship and the role it represents within Canadian public service.
