The article Ed posted does refer to it as a skill badge, but doesn't mention if it is worn, for example, in conjunction with the trade/skill badge on the arm, if it is related to a skill of its own, or if one needs to be employed on special protective duties in order to wear it. Do you keep it forever once trained? Or is it a "badge of office" like the ADC/AdeC badge? Not to compare the two, but it was interesting that Hitler's bodyguard had a Führerhauptquartier cuff title for their uniforms, but they were forbidden from wearing them when they were on duty, as a security measure. Since the location of Hitler's headquarters was usually secret, it was thought to be unwise to give special insignia to those providing "close protection" to the headquarters, since it would only be a tip-off to anyone who might be considering doing him harm. I believe the cuff titles were permitted to be worn when on leave and away from their duty stations.

This is my shoulder board with my insignia as a Aide de camp to the Lieutenant Governor of Québec. The Aides de camp to the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia are quite different from other provinces because they have a special design based on the standard of the Lieutenant-Governor. Cheers!

Interesting badge, I would assume this only to be issued to MP’s? The CP task was assigned to the MP’s, however they didn’t have the manpower to support the role entirely so it was opened up to combat arms. The 6 week Close Protection Courses that were conducted at Blackwater for CAF members were largely filled by Infantry members with a smaller percentage of MP’s, or at least the courses I'm aware of.

If I saw someone wearing this, I would assume they were proud of their time in Gryffindor.

Here is the latest AdeC badge for NS. In keeping with Cdn Army requirments the insignia is to be gilt, metal and no more that 31mm high. This is in order to fit on the shoulder strap along with Unit Title and new pips and crowns.
From left to right, old insignia (40mm), new insignia (24mm and 29mm)

I am to the understanding that once the badge is earned, the person is entitled to wear it even when no longer in that role. All the guys I know who attended the original BlackWater CP course all continue to wear this badge.
Cheers

With no derision to the personnel who perform the duties, the badge is an absolutely terrible design. It looks like a commercial blazer badge.

Agreed. I know a member who chooses not to wear it in place of his wings, so he doesn't wear it at all.

Marc, The Brit army one looks like a military badge.
Another question about the Canadian example. Why is it worn on the breast, rather than on the sleeve?
