So instead of just a picture of a police badge to represent... the police, lol which is obvious, your symbol might try to evoke something more mythical and expansive. So whilst not exactly pic related or this style, maybe adapting some architectural or art deco depiction of Justice, The Blind Lady, Balance, law enforcement etc and all the associations and connotations intertwined with that imagery...
