What strange logic. Do not wear shoulder titles and therefore positively identify oneself as a member of SIB? Did the same logic apply to their RMP cap badges, buttons etc? It must make sense to somebody.

Whatever happened to the small brooch-like badge in the design of a sprig of foliage that SIB used to wear in plain clothes?
I believe the "sprig of foliage" brooch-like badge worn in civilian clothes, and the same device on a tie, represented the "Branch" (Special Investigation Branch).
