TBL patches coming off Calgary police uniforms by end of May

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, May 26, 2022 2:06 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

The union for Calgary police officers is telling members to remove so-called 'thin blue line (TBL)' patches from their uniforms.

The issue came to a head earlier this year when the police commission directed officers to remove the patches by the end of March.

The commission had earlier said the decision to prohibit the symbol was made for reasons including its contentious association with colonialism and racism. Officers have until May 31 to remove the patches, although there was no word on how that will be enforced.
