Just seems a little strange.
Closest thing I can think similar to this is a friend who went to work for the state of Missouri. They don't have a actual badge, just a little nickel-sized pin.
Thanks again.

May mention that Kansas City, MO, Police Dept doesn't have shoulder patches on their Uniform shirt, only on their jackets. One reason is the cost factor and the other is that officers usually wash their shirts rather than having them laundered.
We often asked the higher ups why we didn't have shoulder patches on our uniform shirts, and simply stated it was too costly. Every other agency in the area had patches.
