Badges for the children

[kimber]

Recently, a Kentucky State Trooper gave my daughter a little badge. She thinks it's the coolest thing and rarely goes a day without wearing it. She's just two but she knows what a police officer is because she knows I'm going to school so that I can be a state trooper. I think it's wonderful and very thoughtful of police officers to give children these badges. To a child, a police officer is nothing less than a super hero, like Superman, or Spiderman. Not only do these badges make a child's day, but it could possibly ease the negativity towards police officers. When I was 4, a trooper gave me a badge, and I still have it tucked away in a memory box. My parents nearly greived themselves to death when I announced two years ago that I was going to college to get a CJ degree so that I could be a state trooper. For some reason, they are convinced Cops are the crookedest people on earth. Maybe that little badge, and the trooper I met when I was 4, completely changed my outlook on Law Enforcement, and kept me from having a negative attitude toward officers like my parents do. Kudo's to the little badges and the police officers who distribute them!

Yeah, those little badges are really cool.

I know an officer who is new to the department (lateralled from another) and his daughter found some badge stickers. She looked so happy.

We give them (the plastic ones) out at public events.

If they think you crooked...wait till you get the job...then sit on their house...when they go over teh limit or forget the belt....light 'em up...and pull em' over. Then when they think they are getting abreak...lt them know you are not "crooked" and everyone gets the same treatment....write and tell 'em..."pay the fine or see you in court!"

Kids love to get anything like that free. I used to have stickers for the job I had at a gas station, and when kids got them, they loved it.
Some of our departments have little "junior deputy" stickers they give out and kids love them.

We have "Junior Police Officer" stickers we give out to the kids.

[Michelles]

We have junior sherrif stickers we give out.
Be glad when we get more with the correct spelling.

There was a late officer from around my parts that used to do this. Only one that I know of. I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen a cop do.

Anyone have a good supplier for the plastic badges?
