Welcome to Justin's Police Collection

[06.01.2008]

The purpose of this website will help me display my collection of police and sheriff patches and badges from all over the world. I will also use this website to trade patches and keep in contact with fellow collectors.

I currently have a collection of around 4000 patches, 125 badges, and about 20 Uniforms. I specialize my collecting to the state of Minnesota, in which I have close to 700 patches, 120 badges, and 5 uniforms and always looking to add more.

For the time being this website will be a work in progress. I recently graduated college and now in the process of finding a job, but I will slowly get this website up and running. If a link brings you back to my homepage, it is not yet uploaded, please keep an eye out for when I get it done. I also just recently proposed to my now fiancée, so I now am in the process of planning a wedding. So it has been very busy lately in my life. I am always open in helping fellow collectors anyway I can. Feel free to email me with any questions or comments you have regarding the website or my collection.

Trading Policy

Currently, I am slowly getting into trading patches again. I am also in the process of moving my life forward and getting this website up and going. If you have something for trade you think I might be interested in, do not hesitate to email me. Thank you for viewing my page and please email me if I can be of help.

Engagement Story

I felt the need to write a story about how I proposed to my fiancée Meagen. You can read the entire story here, it is long.
Proposal Story

I have been officially collecting police insignia for over two years. I am always looking to add to my collection any law enforcement related patch or badge from Minnesota. If you have anything that may be of interest to me, please let me know, no matter how small it may be. You can read more about me and why I started collecting on my Biography Page.

I also would like the thank the many people who have helped me get my collection up and going. There have been so many that I could not name them all, but thank you for all your help.

If any officers from Minnesota happen to read this, please take a look at the patches I have from your department, and if possible, email me with known history and what patches I am missing. I am extremely interested in any information regarding the dates and history behind any of my items. I would love to have a database for police officers from all walks of life a place to proudly display all Minnesota police insignia history. Although, being that I am not a police officer, it will be difficult to make this dream come true, but with help from collectors, departments and the many friends I have made, I might just might make this work.
