Though this image is subject to copyright, I, Defiant15E feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  2. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to distribute or market the logo/image in any way.
  3. The image is needed to illustrate the standard department version of the patch.
  4. The image assistis in providing a visual for the sub-article on this subject.

Summary

[edit]
Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free logo true for Bakersfield Police Department
Description

This is the logo for Bakersfield Police Department.

Source

The logo may be obtained from Bakersfield Police Department.

Article

Bakersfield Police Department

Portion used

The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.

Low resolution?

The logo is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.

Purpose of use

The image is used to identify the organization Bakersfield Police Department, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.

Replaceable?

Because it is a non-free logo, there is almost certainly no free representation. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.

Other information

Use of the logo in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy, logo guidelines, and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
