Warrant Card
The City of London Police warrant card badge is the city shield enameled in red and white. The City motto "Domine Dirige Nos" (Lord Guide Us) in gold on a black scroll above the words "City of London Police". Two Tudor Dragons surround the shield. These are often mistaken for Griffins but in fact reflect the Dragon statues that mark the boundary of the City itself. The warrant number is printed below and the word "police" is written beneath that in braille (courtesy of blind former Home Secretary David Blunkett).

Famous quotes containing the words warrant and/or card:
“Here’s to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
Here’s to the widow of fifty;
Here’s to the flaunting extravagant queen;
And here’s to the housewife that’s thrifty.
Let the toast pass,—
Drink to the lass,
I’ll warrant she’ll prove an excuse for the glass.”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
“What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
