Badge and Patch Collectors Gather in Oxford By Alice Duckett The Star Marketing Department OXFORD - Amid slaps on the back, firm handshakes, wide grins, and hearty greet-
ings, law enforcement personnel renewed
friendships, swapped tales, and traded and purchased badges and patches at the 10th Annual SE Regional Badge and Patch
Show, held August 29 at the Oxford Civic Center.
From early morning until late afternoon
the participants examined the many displays and boxes of badges and patches. Oxford
Police Chief Bill Partridge, Travis Bentley of Brook Police Lieutenant (Ret.), hosted the

plain clothes are worn. “You won’t find any uniforms at the show. Policemen, firemen,

law enforcement to collect badges and patches. This provides a day for fellowship, to

Old times and old memories enhance the

owns. He has a photo of Anniston police-
man, John Cunningham, taken in 1911 and his early metal badge #8. Cunningham is
his wife’s great-great-grandfather and was killed in the line of duty with four other
Anniston policemen. “The photo is a real
treasure to our family history,” said Bentley. His Anniston badge collection includes the Millennium badge issued in 2000 and others in Anniston PD history. “Currently the

Alabama. “Most departments have a similar policy about badges and patches. It’s interesting to see the detailed art work used in
designing badges and patches,” said Bentley. Sgt. L.G. Owens from Oxford PD was on
hand to see “what‘s new in trading”. He said, “I got my first patch from policeman Gene
Mitchell of Talladega when I was just eight
years old, and I’ve been collecting ever since. Now I have over 1000 badges in my collection.”
An intriguing Alabama badge collection
belongs to Scott Tucker of Pelham, AL. His collection offers a history of State Patrol
Alaska, Washington, D.C., and large cities
Atlanta and many from Alabama. “I got my
first badge in 1988 just by accident, but it got me interested. My hobby expanded. Now I
have to keep finding more space to house my collection.”
One exhibitor stands out because he’s

might be overdressed for the laid back crowd, but is a regular. “That’s Bob Murray of

said. “He comes every year and always dresses up. It’s his trademark. He brings a good

Year after year the participants gather to

country,” Partridge said. “We look forward to hosting our next show in Feb. 2010.”
