 A word about the R-25 logo.

Yep, that's Theodore Roosevelt on the horse. He was the only US president who was a cop. From 1895 to 1901 he rose from being NYPD Police Commissioner to the 26th president. He lived and worked in the east and west. One of his dearest friends was William (Buckey) O"Neill, former mayor of Prescott, AZ, and sheriff of Yavapai County.TR was the only US president to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and the Congressional Medal Honor. President Roosevelt epitomizes the American spirit, and no better symbol can be found.

 BTW, the Theodore Roosevelt Trust still gives an annual  Police Officer of the Year  award.
