This is an emblem rather than a logo (the logo tag was simply chosen as being the closest to being relevant); it illustrates an educational article about the entity that the emblem represents; it is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic; it is a low resolution image, and it is absurd to claim that a police emblem could be used to produce counterfeit goods; it is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the emblem; it is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

Naturally, being a product of the Government of Nigeria, this emblem is specifically exempted from copyright (Nigerian Copyright Act, Second Schedule; "The right conferred in respect of a work by section 5 of this Act does not include the right to control ... (k) any use made of a work by or under the direction or control of the Government" [1]). Unfortunately, the only licensing tag that I could find for emblems says, "This is a logo of an organization, item, or event, and is protected by copyright and/or trademark"--which is untrue. When will somebody make a PD-NG-Gov tag? I'd do it myself, but have no idea how the part of Wikipedia that produces licensing tags works and don't want to go bumbling around in such a sensitive area without knowing what I'm doing.
