The Dirty Trooper Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I have a suggestion. Would it be cool for all MEPD police officers to have a badge? Just like the NYPD ones but with MEPD and our TD id on it. Is this too naff or could it work ? It might sound naff to you guys but little old me in the UK it's hard work being an MEPD police officer over here, I'm on my own. I don't have a partner. I work alone.

Daetrin Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'd suggest setting up a poll - easier to track than long threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dirty Trooper Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 Well what can I say but I think we should do this . All we need is someone to take it on. Living in the UK makes it hard to start this off. I think we need to vote a few designs in ie: a star a badge or a shield. Can I have your feedback to the 12 that voted and the 47 that was just browsing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-352 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I voted yes. If we do it, I would say do a shield, same design as the Patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk-4224 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 why did you add the opinion "NO" to this poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD7606 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 hahaha.. well we have to be open minded hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD1149 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Ditto with the shield design. Super cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovesand&dirt Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Shield design sounds cool, maybe with a chain so we could put it around our necks. It would be hard to stick it in plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dirty Trooper Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Ay volunteers to take this on, or am I going to have to do it over here? If you do it it will be cheaper because in the UK I would have to import them then export. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-933 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I also agree that a shield design would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dirty Trooper Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 I have been doing a bit of research into this and I have found this: http://www.qualitylapelpins.com/policeBadges.php They do custom made badges. I like the ST. LOUIS COUNTY one, but have a look if you number them like a chess board that one would be B1. Tell me what you like by using the chess system. USA CANADA is A1 POLICE ANGEL is A4 DEPUTY SHERIFF is C3 ect.ect Can anyone put a photo shop picture together of a design then we can put it to the vote.

The Dirty Trooper Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 ok I have had a reply from the badge people. For them to make 20 it would be; Die charge $300.00 Badge cost $18.00 each Delivery $35.00 As I said it iwould cost more if I did it from the UK. Any thought on this matter please feel free.

TD5422 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I think there would need to be a leather wallet for the badge. could hold the challenge coin too. Don't need the badge when you're in armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-933 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I think that $35 is a reasonable price. That is for a US shipping right? I also like the St. Louis County design. Instead of the star we could have our unit number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-352 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I got a question. Is the delivery charge for ALL of the badges to one person, then he would resend them to the people who bought them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dirty Trooper Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 I don't know that one but I will get back to you on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK9993 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Can anyone put a photo shop picture together of a design then we can put it to the vote. Ya. Give me until monday and I'll try something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dirty Trooper Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 I have come up with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK9993 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Here was my idea. I'm not sure on how they can raise/lower emboss things easily, so i just went the simple route.[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dirty Trooper Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 I have had a quote back with burr's badge and for them to make 20 it would be $60 each + P&P to the US. I can do this but we need at least 20 sign-ups. what do you thing guys? *REMEMBER the more we have the cheaper they become.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should only offer it to TD's as it says Dewback Patrol we can't have TK's in on it, can we? instead of Deback Partol we could have SANDTROOPER that weY it says it all or TROOPER DESERT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
