First a disclaimer: If you like these guns (commemoratives) more power to you. Some people like all kinds of things I don't like and it's OK with me.
Now: I decided to add to this post after reading this from a response above.

It's too bad that they aren't thought of more highly by more folks considering who and what they are honoring/commemorating...

I'm a retired LEO and I have to tell you I don't see any "honor" in having a departments name or badge engraved or etched on the side of a perfectly functional firearm. If someone handed me a S&W of a model I particularly like and it had my old departments shield and my name and badge number etched on it…I'd ask them where in blazes they got the darn thing and what on earth they were going to do with it, 'cause I shore wasn't interested in it.
Just sayin',
