The SPVM is banning the controversial thin blue line badge on its uniforms, instead creating a crest of its own for officers who choose to wear it.Montreal's police officers will have the option to add a new crest commemorating killed officers on their uniform as the SPVM bans the thin blue line badge. Montreal's police officers will be banned from wearing the thin blue line badge, and instead now have a patch of their own.
The thin blue line patch has been seen at white supremacist gatherings, such as the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017. It was also present at the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.in Canada after police officers began wearing it in response to the Black Lives Matter movement that took off in the aftermath of the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer. Several police forces in Canada have already banned the symbol.
Montreal Police Chief Fady Dagher says it's important to honour fallen police officers while moving away from the thin blue line symbol.
