U.S. Police Department First to Use Arabic Patch

For the last 80 years, I've been here in Cleveland, Ohio.

Cleveland, Ohio is impressively diverse—over 100 distinct nationalities and ancestries are represented among its residents. This includes large communities with German, Irish, Scots, English, Puerto Rican, Italian, Polish, and African American heritage, as well as smaller groups from places like Slovakia, Lebanon, Nigeria, Cambodia, and even Iceland. Many more as well.

The city’s rich immigrant history is reflected in everything from its neighborhoods and churches to its food scene and cultural festivals. It’s like a living mosaic of global roots stitched into the Rust Belt.

No police patch here is in any other language except ENGLISH.

Q: Why would an American city place a foreign language on their police patches?

Inquiring minds want to know! Help me out.

Dearborn has the largest Arab community in the world outside of the middle east. I've lived in Romulus, Inkster and have friends that are Arab and never once had a problem. When I lived there they was not radical but decent people. You don't hear anything jumping off over there so what do I care if they have a dual lingual patch.

The Sharia Law Sheriffs Department.

Where Muslims get to drive around looking
for violations of the Koran? Jews in New York City have had
Shomrim/Shmira security patrols for years. Complete with
police lights & sirens.

Same with medical. Their own lights & Siren:

Legal status
In the United Kingdom, Hatzalah cannot use blue lights and sirens on their private vehicles.[19]

In New York, Hatzalah usually use red and blue lights and sirens, like normal unmarked emergency vehicles. In New Jersey, Hatzalah usually use blue lights.[20] Since 2021, Florida law has permitted faith-based volunteer ambulance services to operate, allowing Hatzalah response vehicles to use emergency lights and sirens.[21]

In Toronto, Hatzalah use green lights, having the same legal status as volunteer firefighters who also use green lights in their vehicles.[22]

In Australia, Hatzalah are trained as Community First Responders. They are tasked by the professional services to respond to emergencies, but they cannot use flashing lights or sirens, and they must obey all traffic rules.

If the Jews have had this for years, how soon before the Muslims demand the same thing?

Who knows.  Mabe in the Future we will have Hezbollah-types racing around on motorcycles
looking for violations of the Koran. Jeremy Dewitte-style

I doubt it. When I said I lived in the area, that was 45 years ago. We haven't had any issues that I'm aware of.

Didn't they just rename a street after some guy who supports Hezbollah?  

Pardon my scepticism that there's no radical element in Dearborn.

Because that's not a real patch.
