Dearborn Heights First in U.S. with Arabic on Police Patch

The optional patch, designed to honor the city's 39% Middle Eastern and North African population, symbolizes unity and respect within the Dearborn Heights community.

  • The Dearborn Heights Police Department in Michigan has introduced the first-ever police uniform patch in the U.S. featuring Arabic script, designed by Officer Emily Murdoch to reflect the community's diversity.
  • The patch includes the Michigan seal and the words 'Dearborn Heights Police' in both Arabic and English, although it is optional for officers to wear.
  • Responses to the patch have been mixed, with community support contrasted by criticism from figures like Representative Randy Fine, who condemned the initiative.
