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.

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

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