Tallahassee Police Department Uniform Patch and Badge - On our patch (see image at right), the picture is of the State Capitol dome and the flags of the United States and Florida.
Our badge (see image at far right) has an eagle showing our allegiance to the United States of America. The eagle’s wings are spread to show we are covered by the laws and freedoms that the American eagle represents. The outside edge of the badge is covered by olive branches, which symbolize peace. The center has the State of Florida Seal. It is required to be displayed on our badge by a special law and shows we are governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
The Tallahassee Police Department started in 1841
Police officers are referred to as ‘cops’ because of the copper badges they used to wear.
"Born with a soul that had courage to wear the shield..."
"God forbid the days we wrap our shields in black."
