Historical Centennial Badge
In June, a monumental and historical event will occur. One hundred years ago on June 9, 1912, at approximately 9:00 am, officers of the Fort Worth Police Department pinned on a newly designed badge, the same badge our officers wear today.
In keeping with the proud tradition, we would like to present the Centennial Panther Badge. With the mission of commemorating the badge, recognition and honor goes to the men and women who have proudly worn the badge for the past 100 years and to those who have held the traditions of their service sacred.
