A Special Purpose Memorial badge designed exclusively to honor Texas
Peace Officers who died in the line of duty is available. Proceeds from the
purchase of this badge will benefit the Texas Peace Officers Memorial in
Austin, Texas. Bottom two banners on badge can be individually engraved to honor
a particular officer and his ID number or, if you prefer, your Department name and
year date or your personal name and ID number can be engraved on the badge.
The badge is Made in U.S.A. by Collinson Enterprises, die
struck in solid .102” brass, colors are stoned and polished to the level of the raised
detail, badges are finished in choice of pure 24K gold or, pure rhodium if you prefer
a polished silver appearance. Each badge has a back die that reads "Honoring Those
Who Stood The Thin Blue Line For Texas". On the front of the badge the mourning
band includes the Latin “Memo Me Impune Lacessit” which is an expression used
by police officers everywhere to express their support and pledge to fallen officers
and their families. The translation is "No one wounds me with impunity" or "No one
harms me and gets away with it." Embracing the star are a branch of oak leaves on
the left representing strength, and laurel leaves on the right which are a symbol of
peace and victory. The detail areas around the modeled 5 point Texas Star are cut out
to enhance the design.
Purchase of the badge is restricted to sworn or retired law enforcement personnel.
Badge price is $69.50. Shipping is $9.50 regardless of order size.
