Story Behind the Cover

Symbolism in the Tactical Response Team patch

The wolf is known for discipline, communication and coordination.

Three wolves were chosen to signify that a wolf always functions in a group and never alone, similar to our team. Team over self; courage, overwatch and strength in cohesion.

Each wolf is facing a different direction to represent 360-degree awareness and coverage, reflective of the team’s training.

“Those Who Dare” represents the willingness to enter a dangerous situation that requires courage, strength, restraint and professionalism.

“Respect All Fear None” reflects our guiding attitude. Every person we encounter – the public, inmates and staff – is treated with dignity, while we maintain our confidence in the team’s training, in our mission and in each other.
