The Bethlehem Police Mounted
Unit has recently been restored to Bethlehem Downtown
after a 63 year hiatus. The acquisition of Raven and
Hamlet has brought a new tool to the Bethlehem Police
Department and the city. The long absent clop, clop
of horses hooves echo back to a different time, the
same as our vibrant downtown and business districts
represent.

DESCRIPTION
OF THE CITY SEAL
The official seal
of the City of Bethlehem is a circle, consisting of
a rope scroll, in the center of which is located a five-point
star.
Within the star is
an emblem representing the American eagle from whose
head radiates an emblem indicating rays of light. In
his left talon are three arrows, symbolic of war, and
in his right talons is the olive branch, symbolic of
peace. His breastplate is an impress of a keystone.
Between the five points
of the star are five emblems, symbolizing Bethlehem’s
history and achievements.
The impress of the
Cross and Bible typify Religion; the impress of the
Greek Lamp of Learning supported by two volumes typifies
Education; the lyre is symbolic of Music, for which
the community has been renowned; the impress of an athlete
hurling a disc represents Athletics; and the impress
of an anvil, sledge hammer, and gear wheels, typifies
Industry.
The City Flag
consists of the City Seal on a brown field.
