5n the first picture you have a patch, third row centre,it is for the The Nordrhein-Westfalen Polizei or NRW Polizei, are the state police of North Rhine Westphalia. They are in charge of all police activities, from traffic control, to enforcement and investigation.

And on the same row,first patch is for the Rheinland-Pfalz Polizei & Saarland Polizei

In the second row,the five police patches are uniform patches from the old green style Hamburg Polizei uniforms. The green uniforms, and this style patch, were adopted in 1975. They are obsolete now that the Hamburg Polizei have switched over to the standard blue police uniforms.


First row,last patch is a uniform patch from Hessen Polizei, the German State Police of Hessen. It dates to the 1975 to 1988 time frame. Prior to 1975, the patches were oval, instead of shield shaped.
