To anyone interested in the Japanese Police,
Here is an interesting press photo dated 1951. The female officer shown is wearing a US style jacket with the two shown patches clearly shown. These patches were abandoned shortly after the US occupation ended.
The top patch is that of the National Police Headquarters in Tokyo. I have never found a clear photo of these type of patches in wear before.
