Minting a Police Challenge Coin
Police Departments around the United States have a large responsibility in all areas of Law Enforcement. Whether you are fighting crime in Alaska or part of the K-9 Drug Enforcement in Miami you have a lot to be proud of. Having a challenge coin minted in celebration of your department or precinct is a common tradition. Most police departments have produced challenge coins and medallions for all occasions to include dignitary visits, retirements, awards for excellence, or tokens of appreciation for those that support them through volunteer work.
A Tradition of Challenge Coins
Did you know that a large percentage of officers are prior military which led to the bleed over of tradition in the challenge coin to civilian agencies such as police, firefighting, and federal agencies? That’s right, the challenge coin has grown in popularity as one of the top ways to say thank you for all that you do. Each coin has its own unique features whether it’s the Department’s crest, motto, or City they hail from. Most of the time they will include things that relate to the work they do or the city they serve.
In the 21stcentury almost all Police Departments have established a coin they hand out and that tradition is growing where most stations have several coins for each unit that handles a specific area. Carry on this tradition by developing your coin.
