Nemo Me Impune Lacessit
This Latin term, often associated with mourning bands and
Police Memorial Day, means literally; "No one provokes
(attacks) me with impunity". The motto of the Order of the
Thistle. It was first used on the coins of James VI. of Scotland
(James I. of England). How it became associated with the badge
mourning band is unclear, however, those of Scottish and Irish
descent,
who held positions in the ranks of police departments
over the years, may well have been the influence.
