First of all I would like to thank you for your service to this province and its citizens. The Sûreté Du Québec is an indispensable part of our beautiful society and the public owes all of its members a debt of gratitude.
I was disappointed after seeing the new color scheme released yesterday. I don’t feel that it’s up to the standards of your organization and I urge you to stop its implementation in favor of a better conceived, friendlier design.
The black and white theme unveiled yesterday gives the impression that the SQ would like to emulate one of many departments in the USA. At a time when American police are become more militarized with a growing number of unnecessarily violent encounters, we should look not to them for inspiration but to our European friends instead.
The European look is designed to be warm, friendly, visible and welcoming which is in line with what I’d like my police force to be. I have taken the liberty to create a few renders of what I think the SQ vehicles should look like (with help from the GTA V video game). I’ve used only colors that are currently part of the SQ logo and made sure to keep the green which is historically been part of the SQ look.
I hope you like it.
