    2. Only thing I know is that’s the police emblem. Probably from an old uniform or something

      The „recherche“ : investigators.

      Most time without tie, so maybe for some kind of official manager.

    4. KLPD stands for „Korps Landelijke Politiediensten“. This unit existed between 1993 and 2013 until the police organisation was restructured and this became a unit in the National Police. It was operating both nation wide and internationally. The text „divisie recherche“ indicates the tie belonged to the investigative branch.

      This team is now called Dienst Nationale Recherche and focuses on large and organized crime, and investigations related to specific crimes such as child porn, environmental crimes, terrorism and cyber crime. It’s also responsible for investigations that involve Dutch nationals or properties outside of the country borders that are involved in terror attacks or organized crime.

      The logo is still current for the Dutch police.

    5. Dutch police. The “ inscription“ is in dutch language too. Klpd is an abbreviation of Korps Landelijke politiediensten.

    6. Kinda interesting. Gotta wonder if this was part of any official uniform at any point (in which case I expected it to be returned upon retiring), or if it was a (parting)gift making this tie unofficial.

      The more wild but still plausible is criminals copying the uniform and this tie was part of it.

      Its the logo of the dutch police force, KLPD is short for Korps Landelijke Politie Diensten. It translates to Corps for national police services.

      So this was probably part of older formal police attire, I live in The Netherlands but i’ve never seen one before so it was probably not part of the street uniforms.

      It says: „divisie recherche“ which means that it’s from the investigative/detective branche of the police. But I’m not familiar enough with the structure of police departments in the Netherlands to say any more.

      Must be old, KLPD doesn’t exist anymore. And Dienst Nationale Recherche ended before that.

    10. The good old days when you got shit work presents you threw in the closet and never looked back at.

    11. The logo is still in use and therefore I wonder if it’s actually legal for non-police people to wear it in the Netherlands.

      I think this was part of an old police uniform. A ceremonial one, or one belonging to an officer behind the counter.

      It’s an old Dutch police tie as others have stated, but the logo is still current. It is also a protected logo, which means that you can only wear it (on clothing or otherwise) if you are part of the Dutch police or have been granted express permission (e.g., for a movie shoot). My suggestion is not to wear the tie when in the Netherlands despite the logo being relatively small.

      Probably a promotional gift from a Dutch police official to a Canadian counterpart.
