Since 1906, the Saanich Police Department (SPD) has used the Municipal Seal followed by the District Coat of Arms, as the official symbol of our organization. 
In 2020 a redesign of the crest was proposed to better reflect the commitment to the community they serve. 
The vision was to showcase the police's values-based approach to community policing, and to honour the lək’wəŋən and WSÁNEĆ Peoples, whose traditional territories extend throughout the District of Saanich. 
The new crest was approved in 2024.
