To change information
Description
On a yellow disc 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm) in height overall a green annulet issuing four green pikes from within, interlaced saltirewise with points up, all within a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) yellow border.

Symbolism
The pikes, former weapons used by guards, are interlaced to symbolize strength and protection within the law. The pikes placed "two" then "two" with the annulet further distinguishes the organization's numerical designation 220th. The annulet also alludes to the unit's speed and mobility in carrying out its mission. Green and yellow are colors used for Military Police units.

Background
The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 24 July 1972. (TIOH Dwg. No. A-1-553)
