Of
Badges... |
 |
To the left...that's my badge. Sort of.
When I graduated
from the academy I was issued a brand new badge with a
number in the 200s. The clasp broke. I took it to Police
Personnel and was given badge 110. The clasp broke. I
returned to Police Personnel. They looked
at me with collective disbelief and gave me badge 519.
They emphasized that I should
quit breaking badges.
I
was informed that my badge would be repaired in about ten
working days and I would be notified. That was in 1978. They
should be calling anytime.... |
