Summary

Description
English: Coat of arms of the Estonian Police and the Border Guard Board (formerly the coat of arms of the Estonian police). The police coat of arms is shaped like a shield. The blue background represents a silver lion standing on its hind legs, holding a small national shield with its front legs. The lion has been chosen as a non-cowardly animal due to its inherent qualities of nobility and courage. The lion is also in the coat of arms of the national shield. The upright position of the animal symbolizes the will to act. The lion is represented in silver, since this color symbolizes nobility and masculinity. Maintaining a small national coat of arms between the front legs means being prepared to protect public order and the interests of the state. The background color is blue, which is also one of the colors of the flag, which symbolizes peace and stability. The coat of arms is based on historical traditions, and inspired by the design of the Estonian police badge of the 1930s, which has been heraldically reorganized.
Eesti: Eesti Politsei- ja Piirivalveameti vapp. (Eelnevalt Eesti Politsei vapp) Politsei vapp on kilbikujuline. Sinisel taustal on kujutatud tagajalgadele püstitõusnud hõbedast lõvi, kes esikäppadega hoiab väikest riigivappi. Lõvi valimisel vapiloomaks on lähtutud tõigast, et just sellele loomale on iseloomulike omadustena omistatud õilsust ja julgust. Lõvi on ka riigivapi vapiloom. Looma püstiseisev asend sümboliseerib valmisolekut tegutsemiseks. Lõvi on kujutatud hõbedasena, sest seegi värv sümboliseerib õilsust ja mehisust. Väikese riigivapi hoidmine esikäppade vahel tähendab valmisolekut avaliku korra ja riigi huvide kaitseks. Taustavärv on sinine, mis on ühtlasi ka üks lipuvärvidest, sümboliseerides rahu ja stabiilsust. Vapi kujundamisel on lähtutud ajaloolistest traditsioonidest ja võetud aluseks Eesti politsei ametimärgi kujundus 1930ndatest aastatest, mida on heraldiliselt korrastatud.
Español: Escudo de armas de la Policía de Estonia y la Junta de la Guardia de Fronteras (anteriormente el escudo de armas de la policía de Estonia). El escudo de armas de la policía tiene forma de escudo. El fondo azul representa un león plateado de pie sobre sus patas traseras, sosteniendo un pequeño escudo nacional con sus patas delanteras. El león ha sido elegido como un animal no cobarde debido a sus cualidades inherentes de nobleza y coraje. El león está también en el escudo de armas del escudo nacional. La posición erguida del animal simboliza la voluntad de actuar. El león está representado en plata, ya que este color simboliza la nobleza y la masculinidad. Mantener un pequeño escudo de armas nacional entre las patas delanteras significa estar preparado para proteger el orden público y los intereses del estado. El color de fondo es azul, que también es uno de los colores de la bandera, que simboliza la paz y la estabilidad. El escudo de armas se basa en tradiciones históricas, e inspirado en el diseño de la insignia de la policía estonia de la década de 1930, el que ha sido reorganizado heraldicamente.
