Royal Canadian Mounted Police RCMP Woven Patch

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Woven Patch is an insignia associated with Canada’s federal and national law enforcement agency. This patch typically features the iconic RCMP crest, which includes a mounted bison head at the center, surrounded by a wreath of maple leaves and surmounted by a crown, symbolizing Canada’s connection to the British monarchy. The words “Royal Canadian Mounted Police” and “Maintiens le droit” (“Uphold the Right”) are usually incorporated into the design. Woven using durable fibers, this style of patch is characterized by its detailed texture and precise imagery. Such patches are worn on uniforms to designate affiliation with the RCMP and are also collected as police memorabilia. The patch provides historical and organizational insight into the development of Canadian law enforcement. It offers a representative example of the symbols and traditions associated with the RCMP since its founding in 1873.
