Police officer: medium-dark skin tone Emoji

People

A figure wearing a classic blue police cap and uniform, rendered here with a medium-dark skin tone. The design features a stoic facial expression meant to represent a standard law enforcement official.

Usage Context

Used to denote law enforcement, reporting a crime, or acknowledging police presence. People often drop this emoji in texts to signal that they've been pulled over or to warn friends about speed traps. It is frequently grouped with the 🚨 siren or 🚓 police car to add urgency to a message.

History

While the police officer emoji arrived in Unicode 6.0 in 2010, the ability to modify skin tones was added later in 2015 as part of an effort to make digital personas more representative of the global population. The design draws from the universally recognized image of a peaked cap, a staple of municipal police uniforms globally.
