New Roswell Police Patch

 
A new uniform patch has been designed for the Roswell Police Department and in tune with the rest of the town's iconography it includes an alien UFO motif. All American uniforms include a fabric patch which contains encoded or symbolic information about what it represents. The previous patch was a simple blue shield background with the words ROSWELL POLICE surrounding the sun symbol of the Zia Pueblo Indians, exactly as it appears on the New Mexican flag; and inside this was a yucca plant, the state flower of New Mexico. This new patch is ET green with a white border. The background is black or very dark green. Inside it is the Zia sun symbol like the old patch except this one is light green and it says around the inner circle: Protect and serve those that land here with two grey alien faces on either side. Inside is a motif that looks like a letter R, for Roswell, but the gaps in the R double up as a flying saucer with a tapering beam shining downwards. Roswell's Police Chief Lance Bateman (who looks a lot like a brother porter of mine!) said the department recently ordered an initial batch of five hundred as a trial to see what they looked like in use. The officers themselves were asked to design a new patch and choose the one they liked the most. The winner was this one and the artist was Support Services Sergeant Trong Nguyen.

The skeptics resent the fact that Roswell has become so affluent because of its UFOlogical notoriety. Mark Pilkington's book Mirage Men dedicates five whole pages to describing the UFO tourist scene in Roswell in lurid and derogatory terms, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2012/12/mirage-men-by-mark-pilkington.html. I disagree. What is wrong with a town exploiting its history for its own prosperity? If you object to that then you'd better go to Stratford-upon-Avon and tell them to get rid of all the Shakespeare stuff. "But that's different because Shakespeare was real!" says the skepper. "The Roswell UFO was just a fake story!" Well, that's a matter of opinion.
