In fact the national police in Germany, the Polizei, all use the same cars and uniforms, but the patch is regional to that area. The same shape but the center is that area's color and or symbol. I have a Bavaria Polizei patch in my collection and it has the trademark Bavarian blue and white checkerboard, sometimes you'll see the blue and white checkerboard shield added to the rear of BMW's by their owners.
