A Foyle MLA has said it was 'totally unacceptable' for a PSNI officer to wear an old RUC badge on his hat while taking part in a police operation in the Creggan area of Derry today.
The old RUC badge the officer wore consists of a poppy with a harp in the centre and crown atop the words Royal Ulster Constabulary.
The same badge can be purchased online for £5.95.
Sinn Féin MLA Karen Mullan said she has raised the matter with Derry City and Strabane District Commander, Chief Superintendent Darrin Jones.
