Why Police Organizations Worldwide Hang and Display Wooden Badge Plaques
Since 1991, Master Plaques has supplied police departments, sheriffs offices, fire departments, federal special agents, and military law enforcement officers with wooden duplicate badge plaques. Today, Silver Badges are worn by patrol officers and corporals, Gold Badges are worn by Sergeants and higher ranks. Prior to 1952, Detective Alfred Carratti (D) was principally responsible for designing and getting approval of the present handsome badges worn proudly by officers in the Honolulu Police Department.
The only constant symbol of police authority throughout every era of Hawaiis history is the Puloulou (Kapu Stick). A Law Enforcement Badge is a first impression of the individual with whom one is working, an indicator of their attitude toward their own status and duties. A badge or insignia that is neatly polished, displayed quickly, indicates a sense of pride in the persons job and their services.
Take a look, and enjoy choosing something special for that police officer, sheriff, deputy, or other government employee. More importantly to each one of them, when they walk across the stage and shake my hand, I am going to give them their Springfield, MO, Police Department (SPD) badge. At the conclusion of our ceremony tonight, you all will be honored by having the privilege to affix the badges to your new recruits, and to act as witnesses, as they undergo this last step in their journey from recruit to officer.
Before the final manufacturing, you will receive a high-resolution photo of your wooden badge plaques for approval. Customize this plaque with the name, state, and badge number of your State Trooper. This handmade wood American flag featuring the California Highway Patrol Badge is an awesome way to honor the CHP.
You can incorporate a police agency badge or patch, along with an officers, deputies, or troopers rank, name, and agency. The back of this nostalgic cop badge is made from untreated wood; you can ask each person to sign it, adding their own personal message using permanent markers. The decorations bordering the sides of the design on the sign are made from Taro, Fern, and Banana Leaf.
For all of the honors and achievements that class has achieved, receiving a Springfield is the true fulfillment of their dreams, and official recognition that they graduated as officers, either as enlisted men or as cadets.
