FROM FOX NEWS: The Dearborn Heights Police Department in Michigan has announced an “optional patch” that includes text in both Arabic and English.
The patch includes the words “DEARBORN HEIGHTS” and “POLICE” written in both English and Arabic.
“The Dearborn Heights Police Department is proud to share a new optional patch that our officers may wear as part of their uniform,” the department noted in a Facebook post.
The Facebook post said:
This patch was created by Officer Emily Murdoch, who designed it to reflect and honor the diversity of our community – especially the many residents of Arabic descent who call Dearborn Heights home. By incorporating Arabic script alongside English, this patch represents unity, respect, and our shared commitment to service. We are proud of Officer Murdoch’s creativity and dedication in helping our department better represent the people we serve.
Our officers proudly serve all members of our community, and this new design is another way we continue to celebrate the rich cultures that make our city unique.
Republican Rep. Randy Fine of Florida commented on the patch, saying, “They said their goal was to bring sharia law to America. You should’ve believed them. Pray for Michigan.”
