The central device is bordered by red, white and blue rings and set against a radiating gold background framed by stylized agricultural branches. The design closely reflects the broader institutional symbolism associated with North Korea’s Ministry of Social Security, adapted into a small badge intended for placement on the front of a tactical helmet.

Historical Context
North Korea’s Ministry of Social Security serves as the country’s principal uniformed police and public-security organization. In addition to ordinary policing functions, the ministry controls armed and mobile formations associated with internal security, public-order enforcement, emergency response and protective duties.
Personnel from these formations have appeared in official North Korean parades wearing black tactical uniforms, body armor and ballistic-style helmets. A small gold badge bearing the ministry’s central star-and-wreath imagery is positioned prominently on the front of each helmet, while a separate DPRK roundel is worn on the upper sleeve.
The badge incorporates the hammer, sickle and writing brush of the Workers’ Party of Korea, symbolizing industrial workers, agricultural workers and intellectuals. Due to the limited availability of official North Korean uniform regulations, the exact official designation of this helmet insignia is not publicly confirmed.
