That's a good find. The main thing though is to figure out who used the badge first and why. Other departments may have copied it without knowing anything about the symbol. We still don't know if the symbol had any meaning (or maybe had a different meaning) back then when the badge was designed.
It does seem very suspicious, especially with the Luciferian Uplifters Club, but I'm still open to the idea that it's not a direct connection. Maybe this symbol was some kind of occult symbol used by the Uplifters, and one of their other members went on to make it the Boy Lover symbol, or something like that. I was trying to find a connection with Harry Hay of NAMBLA, who may have hung out with some Uplifters members, but I couldn't find anything solid. Hopefully someone else will pursue it further - it may take a trip to the UCLA library or something to really get to the bottom of it.
The badge manufacturer probably makes badges for a lot of departments and have a basic template that they can choose from. This looks just like many of the others.
EDIT: The Oregon badge was made in Commerce, CA - Company name: Entennman-Rovin Badge style is 9L
That's probably how it ended up getting used by multiple departments in different locations. As far as we can tell so far, it originated with the LASD.
That's who makes it now, but it's been made by several different companies, and may not have any relation to who first made it. The scv history document linked to above has some clues.

We were on it here first: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1612852
The logo has been on the badge since before 1948. See page 59 of this document: http://www.scvhistory.com/scvhistory/lasdhistory2011.htm

So Bob Brown designed. There was a custom made one for Sheriff Biscailuz in the 1950's

Bob Brown designed the current badge, but there are pictures of LASD badges that predate Brown's design that still have the symbol.

Master Leather Carver Bob Brown designed the LA County badge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLOjlvQXbAU

Yes, but the symbol was on the badge before Bob Brown's design, according to this document on page 59: http://www.scvhistory.com/scvhistory/lasdhistory2011.htm
Bob Brown seems like an ok guy, and I doubt he knew about the symbol.

I see. Wasn't aware. Thanks.

I think your boy band discovery removes doubt that it had a different meaning back then.
