Gentlemen, I have been interested in American Police Officer items for a while now and Im hoping to enlarge my collection.Im particularly interested in the Motorcycle and Mounted Horse Sections of the Police service due to my past career and myself still riding a Harley-Davidson. Does any member collect American Police Uniforms/Badges/Caps etc or can give me a link/contact to the collecting community ?,,,Thanks in advance for any info you can pass on, my mail address is ,,, [email protected]. Cheers Stephen

Stephen,
Yep! I am a retired police (US) Master Sergeant and I collect police stuff from the US as well as other countries. Send me a PM as I am an ex-motorcycle officer myself.

Thanks for that Robert, Here is the above Chicago officers buddies jacket I have,Officer Ogletree was first stationed in disrict #8-South Chicago,then retiring in district #7-Woodlawn. It seems that instead of changing the complete patch they issued inner patches when the officer moved districts.As far as Im aware these sew-on badges are very rare and I very recently mailed one of the foremost Chicago badge collectors who had never seen one before and didnt know they were issued.

I have been in law enforcement for fifteen years and have a few items I have come across. I have a small collection of badges and some uniforms. I also have a hat that I am told is a turn of the century NY state hat. I will get a picture and put it up. Nice to know there are others here.

The only ones that I have, I have to keep as they were mine on 2 departments, badges that is. I also have my old Sheriff's Dept helmet as well as a few "Folger Adam" jail keys.
I know exactly where you can get some. Manion's auction, at least as of last week, had a scad of badges. I mean pages of them!

I have never (last 30 years) seen FPS use this style. Most likely a private purchase off duty badge.
