September 4, 2025

Here we go.

The Dearborn Heights Police Department became the first in the nation to feature a police patch with Arabic writing.

The patch was designed by Officer Emily Murdoc with the intent to honor the diversity of the community.

“The Dearborn Heights Police Department is proud to share a new patch that our officers may wear as part of their uniform,” the Dearborn Heights Police Department said in a Facebook post.

“This patch was created by Officer Emily Murdoch, who designed it to reflect and honor the diversity of our community – especially the many residents of Arabic descent who call Dearborn Heights home. By incorporating Arabic script alongside English, this patch represents unity, respect, and our shared commitment to service. We are proud of Officer Murdoch’s creativity and dedication in helping our department better represent the people we serve,” they said.

“Our officers proudly serve all members of our community, and this new design is another way we continue to celebrate the rich cultures that make our city unique,” they said.
