+Being both a 'Trade Union' and a Welfare Organisation the shield symbolises the scales of justice, the bees representing collective industry work and general well being for a group of people. Bees are also found in the arms of Sir Robert Peel, founder of the modern Police.
+The supporters and the crest are both representative of England and Wales and they are standing on a compartment reflecting city and rural policing.
+The motto ''Sine timore sine favore'' means Without fear without favour. It is taken from the Constable's oath of allegiance.
