NORTHERN TERRITORY POLICE

      Oznaku i moto su kreirali pripadnici ovih policijskih snaga. Do sredine 1960-tih pripadnici Policije Sjeverne teritorije su nosili australski grb na svojim kapama. Sadašnja oznaka, uobičajeno nazivana „Skippy badge“ je usvojena 1990. i u njenom centru se nalazi klokan, koji simbolizira australsku divljinu. Klokan je okružen vijencem u koji je uklopljen floralni element Teritorije, Stjuartova pustinjska ruža. Sve stoji ispod krune Sv. Edvarda, krune koja je korištena za krunidbe i koja simbolizira vezu sa Commonwealtha. Ispod, na traci je policijski moto i naziv policijskih snaga.

      Oznaka za rukav je izabrana između skica i prijedloga koje su slali policajci. Stariji pozornik Peter Hamon je predložio dizajn koji je iskorišten za finalni izgled oznake. Riječi „služiti“ i „Štititi“ se pripisuju starijem pozorniku Arthuru Egglestonu.

      Both the motto and the patch design came from members of the force. Until the mid 1960s Northern Territory Police wore the Australian Coat of Arms on their cap badges then it was replaced with the kangaroo insignia. The current shoulder patch was adopted in 1990 and has at its centre a kangaroo, symbolising the Australian Outback, surrounded by a laurel wreath featuring the Territory’s floral emblem, Sturt Desert Rose; and standing beneath St Edward's Crown, the crown used at coronations, symbolising Commonwealth links. Below, a scroll displays the police motto and the words ‘Northern Territory Police’ are above.

      The shoulder patch design was selected from staff submissions, with Senior Constable Peter Hamon accredited with the design that led to its final form. His submission included the words ‘Serve’ and ‘Protect’, which in turn are accredited to Senior Constable Arthur Eggleston.

      Sjeverna teritorija, ponekad nazivana „zadnja granica“ ima stalne policijske snage od 1870 godine, kada su tamo stigli inspektor Paul Foelsche i šest policajaca. 1931 godine, dvije teritorije postaju država Sjeverna teritorija i dobijaju Upravu u Darvinu. Od 1955. kada je bilo zaposleno 80 policajaca, broj policijskih službenika prati broj stanovništva. Danas broje preko 1200 policajaca, rezervnih policajaca te policajaca u domorodačkim zajednicama. Prvih pet žena postaju pripadnice policije 1961.  godine.

      The Northern Territory, sometimes referred to as ‘the last frontier’ has a (permanent) police history dating from 1870 when Inspector Paul Foelsche and six other police officers arrived in the Territory. In 1931, the two Territories became the Northern Territory of Australia and the authority of the Commissioner of Police was vested in the Administrator of the Northern Territory, in Darwin. Since 1955 when 80 police officers were employed, the size of the Northern Territory Police Force has grown significantly in line with the population.  Today the establishment is more than 1200 sworn Police, Auxiliaries and Aboriginal Community Police Officers. In April 1961 five women were sworn into the Northern Territory Police Force.
