125th Anniversary Design

On January 13, 2024, the Medicine Hat Police Service (MHPS) will be celebrating 125 years as a police service and to celebrate this milestone several events are being planned.

One initiative suggested by the planning committee to celebrate our rich history as a police service, is the creation of a limited 125th anniversary edition of the MHPS shoulder flash patch. While the patch would not be worn on active-duty uniforms, it may be worn for special occasions and will shared as a collector’s item during special events throughout the year.

To help with the design of the 125th anniversary flash, the MHPS is seeking submissions from the community. Attached are photos of our current shoulder flash and previous versions that are on display in the MHPS Lobby. In addition, historic details about the MHPS can be found on the MHPS website as well as at the Esplanade archives.

Anyone interested in submitting a design can do so my email mhps@mhps.ca no later than May 28th, 2023, at 4:00 p.m.

The successful design will be chosen by the MHPS Executive Team and Anniversary Planning Committee, and the designer will receive the first rendition of the flash produced, as well as public acknowledgement and bragging rights of the achievement.
