OK I've seen it all now
A HR 218 Badge (LEOSA).
I thought you just needed your retired ID Card ( I do have a Retired Badge that came with my ID card when I retired). But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, a HR 218 badge is now available. I'm afraid if I got ask for an ID and presented this badge, I'd probably wished I filed off all the sharp edges first. I thought CCW badges were silly but this takes the cake. http://www.epolicesupply.com/hr218-n...badge-new.html

Being silly leads me to believe it will eventually become mandatory.

Lay that on most of the guys I know, without real ID, and you might find yourself playing Monopoly,

Hey, where there's a buck to be made... .
My F.O.P. Lodge presented me with a gold retirement badge when I retired and the City issued me an ID card that simply says "retired police officer". Shoot, there's not even any indication on the card that I'm staying current in my firearms qualification. Fortunately, I know most of the guys on most of the area departments, but I often wonder what would happen if the issue came up out of my area.

As to that retired carry I just found out that our dept is NOT offering quals to retired because the DOJ will not allow on line background checks for the year prior to qual for crimianl convictions and DV's. Apparenlty the DOJ does not think using the NICs system for retired is or should be an authorized use? So with out that clear background cause of the red tape loving Feds we can't qual to carry out of state after retirement dept does not want the legal liability....anybody else having this problem?

The other thing wrong with that "badge" is one title listed is Corrections Officer, and state COs who do NOT have general arrest powers like AZ DOC do NOT qualify under LEOSA.
Stupid idea, yeah, they'll sell a ton of them. |

Since it can be ordered "no leo credentials required", what's the point?

Here in Florida, when a certified officer retires, the State of Florida honors them with their first Concealed Weapons License without any charge.
Thereafter you pay for just the renewals..............
