Anyone who read the Artemis Fowl books would know it's LEPRecon, for Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance unit. I recall a bit in one of the books where the fairy Holly, a lead character and an officer in LEPRecon, is glad that her standard uniform no longer includes those ridiculous big buckles and funny hats.

It did. Unfortunately it wasn't faithful to the original novel. Relied on a Macguffin to resolve the plot. Sad.
