This emblem was designed by the Semiahmoo First Nation artist Leslie Wells as a gift to the Surrey Police Service in honour of the strong and fruitful relationship between the city and the Semiahmoo, Katzie, Kwikwetlem, Kwantlen, Qayqayt and Tsawwassen First Nations, on whose traditional lands the city has grown. Often seen on police service hats, the three rows of squares refer to the organization and its services. This grid pattern also alludes to the street layout of Surrey. The stars represent the six town centres of Surrey.
