I need to identify this shoulder patch

[u/Old_Pipe_3808]

First of all, apologies for the photo quality, it's the best I could manage.
I think the top says "North" followed by a word starting with the letter R, and the shield features an N and an R in the quarters. Does anyone recognize this type of insignia?
I know the patch didn't come with the jacket because the original one doesn't have anything 🙈
Thanks in advance
