Unknown Shoulder Patch

[Wrigley]

I am cataloging the items in the Holocaust exhibit at the museum I am interning at and found a shoulder board that I don't know what it is. My best guess is that it is a police patch, but I want to be sure. Can anyone help?

It's a bullion cloth police patch, I don't think it came off a shoulder patch though, rather an M43 perhaps?

Picture borrowed from RonR on WAF:

It is a bullion Police sleeve eagle as you thought, way too big to be for a cap.

Thank you for correcting me, I didn't look at the scale.

The important point that was missed is that it is for an police officer.

Because it is bullion is could have been from ANY branch of the police; fire, city, rural, municipal, administration, etc...

So "Police Officer Bullion Sleeve Patch" is your best description for cataloging.
