	As someone who has lived in Ontario for much of his life,
	and has seen many too many OPP officers, I can assure you
	that that crest on Paul's shoulder does indeed read 'OPP'
	and stands for Ontario Provincial Police. This is probably
	because Ontario is a province and that is our police
	department (much like the State Troopers in the U.S.).
