I was trying to think of an appropriate response while reading the other threads to this post and this one says it all.

Someone whom would carry something like this is cut from the same cloth as volunteer fire fighters whom put emergency lights on their personal vehicles.

LEO's aside, the last badge most of us needed was plastic and came with a set of plastic six shooters and plastic spurs which were proudly worn with our pants tucked into the top of our cowboy boots to church.
