Welcome to my site of Police patches and Badges from around the world.
This is me when I first started as a Traffic Officer with the Lower Hutt City Council in 1977.
Prior to 1992 New Zealand had separate Traffic and Police enforcement agencies, these being City Council Traffic Departments along with the government Ministry of Transport and the New Zealand Police.
Over a period of time the City Council Traffic Departments were absorbed into the Ministry of Transport to become one nationwide traffic enforcement service completely separate from the New Zealand Police
In 1992 the Ministry of Transport Traffic Officers were integrated into the New Zealand Police, thus New Zealand had only one enforcement that deals with all traffic and crime matters.
I retired as a Senior Police Constable on April 12, 2013, with a total of 36 years of service.
I first started collecting police patches as most police officers do, but soon ran out of wall space so decided to collect Model Police Cars thus allowing the wall space to diminish even quicker. If you would like to visit my collection of Police cars just click HERE.
As I get more Police patches and badges these will be added to my site.
If you want to see some then and now pictures of me just click here.
Please enjoy my site and any comments will be welcome, and please don't forget to sign my GUEST BOOK.
