The fasces were used by Roman magistrates as a symbol of their office and jurisdiction. It is also frequently found in other US iconography as part of symbol of various offices and parts of government. In fact the US Army Military Police Corps uses it in their regimental crest and is frequently found as part of various unit crests and shoulder sleeve insignia.
MP Regimental Insignia:
18th MP Bde SSI
My Reserve unit- 327th MP Bn
