Typically produced in metal with a gilt or silver finish, the badge features the OPP crest, which includes the provincial shield flanked by motifs representative of Ontario’s heritage.

Surmounting the shield is a crown, signifying the authority of the Crown in Canadian law enforcement. The badge is designed to be affixed to the front of a uniform cap, indicating the wearer’s membership in the OPP.
