Default Patches

In my free time while waiting to hear on a few things I decided to do something constructive. I was given alot of old patches by another forum member, I decided to get some foam board and make a display out of them. I added a few of my own that I have and I have some more waiting on another foam board. Two of the boards are on my wall, I'm trying to find room for the other two and eventually when my shop opens I plan to put them all in there.

That's a nice collection. I noticed you're missing a patch from Maricopa County S. O. in AZ. PM me with a mailing address and I'll send you one.

It's ironic how patches from departments hundreds, if not thousands, of miles apart are so similar. The Kingsford, Michigan patch on the second panel is exactly the same, in color, shape, and design, as the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol. I'm sure the patch manufacturers offer stock designs with name changes, but that's the first I've seen of that one. The Havre, Montana patch on the third panel is a standard design, I wore that patch as the Chief of Police of Enterprise, Mississippi.
