Guards, patrols and alarms
CLDR files police under six emoji and cop under the three officers. Patrol leads to ๐ Police car alone, alert to ๐จ Police car light alone and badge to ๐ Name badge alone. Nothing is filed under surveillance, CCTV or bodyguard, so the camera here is ๐น Video camera.
Passwords, privacy and safety
Password leads to ๐ Key alone and privacy to ๐ Locked with pen alone. Safety is filed under four emoji: Fingerprint, Ring buoy, Safety vest and Safety pin. Fingerprint is from Emoji 16.0, so an older phone shows an empty box.
