Whether you’re a police officer, detective, or a SWAT team member, if you’re in law enforcement you most likely have at least one challenge coin in your possession.Challenge coins’ military roots go hand in hand with the fundamentals of law enforcement.  Both groups risk their own lives to protect the lives of others.  That’s what makes them recipients of challenge coins.  No other type of award carries the same type of honor or prestige as a personalized coin.

Law Enforcement Challenge Coins Help Acknowledge Different Groups

Within law enforcement, there are many different groups and teams.  Challenge coins are a great way to connect the different groups with a singular coin design that encompasses all of the groups.  Law enforcement coins can be made for a particular division such as the bomb squad or the CSI division. Custom coins are collected as one works their way up the law enforcement ladder.  You take these coins with you from the time you’re a rookie all the way until you retire so that you can have a visual reminder of the time you spent within that unit.

Always Ready for a Challenge

When the day is done and these workers go to their favorite watering hole, they all carry their own coin just in case someone challenges them.  This tradition was made popular by members of the military and carries on today.  This demonstration of pride is something that never grows old.  The challenger makes a verbal request to see everyone in his group’s coins.  If they all do what is asked and present an acceptable challenge coin, he has to buy drinks.  If a person doesn’t have his or her coin or presents one that has been altered in any way, they have to buy the challenger a drink.

Motorcycle Police Coins, Commander Coins, and Highway Trooper Coins

Popular law enforcement coins are motorcycle police coins, commander coins for excellence, and highway trooper coins.  Common details of law enforcement coins can be seen on this example.  Most agencies use their badge and personal motto as well as a date their unit was established.  We can even custom shape the coins to look like a real law enforcement badge which is something really unique and special.
