Hearldry of the DVNA Seal
Each symbol has special significance to the membership and objectives of the DVNA. The endless circles denote singleness of purpose and encase the name of the organization. The badge represents all of the law enforcement agencies and the order of law that guides their mission. The eagle throughout history has been the American symbol of leadership, strength, courage and valor. The diagonal line through the badge commemorates the “thin blue line” at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial where it reminds us that it is law enforcement that separates the rule of law from chaos and crisis in society. The scale represents justice challenged by the lightening bolt of crisis. There is one star for each state of membership: PA NJ DE. The book emphasizes the training and education mission of the association as embodied in the concept “crisis resolution through negotiation”. -tc
