The Victoria Police Department is celebrating the City of Victoria’s 200th anniversary by giving all police officers the opportunity to wear a special commemorative badge on their uniforms throughout 2024.
The badge pays tribute to the City's rich history while symbolizing the department’s ongoing commitment to serving and protecting the Victoria community.
"We are honored to commemorate Victoria's bicentennial year with this badge," said Police Chief Chuck Young. "Our department has proudly served this community for decades, and we look forward to continuing that legacy of service for the next 200 years and beyond."
The custom anniversary badges will be interchangeable, with the option to wear the commemorative badge in place of the standard Victoria Police badges on all police uniforms. Officers will also have the option to wear a bicentennial patch.
Victoria Police Department officers will participate in community events throughout the year to celebrate the City's 200th birthday.
“These special anniversary badges are a wonderful tribute to our shared history,” Young said. “We hope the community will join us in celebrating this exciting milestone for our City.”
