My design
Greetings all, 5 August, 611pmMST
Some of you may be interested in what I designed and registered a few years ago. I did this for our local County Sheriff Department. The Sheriff and I have been buds since grade school, and he was quite open to the idea when I explained it to him.
We did this on the occasion of National Tartan Day in '06 when I was President of our local Scottish American Society. We held a banquet for the occasion and made the presentation there. The Department built a special display case for visitors to see these items. It made me feel good to have had the idea, and to help give something back from the community to people who get little or no thanks for the work they do.

This is myself with the framed tartan swatch and our Sheriff, Mr. Chris Smith with the certificate from the Scottish Tartans Authority.

I based this on the Wallace pattern. I chose colors which I felt would be representative of a law enforcement entity. The black is for the color of their uniform, light brown for the color of weathered asphalt, white overcheck for the integrity of law enforcement personnel, and red overcheck in remembrance of those who were injured and lost lives in the line of duty.

The certificate.
Regards aye,
