They overlooked one critical part of the manufacture - allowing a CLEO with zero taste or qualifications in design or art to pick the design of the agency's badge.

I would like to think that, no matter who designed the badge, that the "Badge" is "formed", "made" and "molded" by those that wear it.

It all is for naught if the officer isn't wearing a hat.

Something about time lapse photography showing a virgin pair of boots being polished up for the first time, and broken in by a veteran Officer.

Didn't realize there was so much hand work involved.
And the base metal in the video was copper. Thought it was tin.

CitizenOfDreams,
The 300 vs Occupy sequel was not quite what I expecting. 
I was picturing more the week long process of breaking in a new pair of trooper boots.

I think the Greek cop doing a flying drop kick on the commie drummer boy is my favorite.

I just received my new Smith Warren S36.
It is AWESOME. Waiting for my Strong ID carrier, special ordered from the local Cop Shop.

Wow! That's why my CCW badge was so expensive!

Ours are sterling silver. Around $300 per. They get recycled as people come and go. If you actaully retire from here you get to keep yours. I plan on telling them to take mine out of my last check,

Very cool!
The application of the soft enamel lettering is interesting... I recently redid the flaking lettering on a few badges by painting the crevices with Testors enamel model paint, and wiping off the excess. At the time I thought it was kind of a ghetto solution but that's almost exactly how they actually do it during manufacture.

Are Texas Ranger badges still made from the cinco peso coin?
