BADGE COLLECTOR: COLD CASE FLAW

COLD CASE FLAW

A while ago I noted a costume flaw when Lil was shown, in a flash back to her rookie days, wearing the blue uniform - with a New Jersey hat badge. Several weeks later I noticed the Philly PD officers were all using the same hat badge. I wonder who is the supplier for Cold Case uniforms. I like the NJ stuff, but really some more realism is needed. I will still watch the show and certainly keep a very close eye on Lil. I'll even watch those uniform HATS !!!

ORIGIN OF MY COLLECTION

1967 was the year of the Newark Riots. My Dad was a Newark Detective near the end of his career; and I was just beginning a career as a Probation Officer. Shortly after the riots my Dad gave me a couple of badges he acquired over the years. They sat around in a desk drawer for a couple of years. Eventually I put them on a shelf - never knowing that this was the beginning of my collection. My father died in 1974 leaving me his retirement detective shield. The word "Retired" had been put in the number panel. He didn't like that and knocked it off. He had the original number put back, but this was absolutely "no work of art." None the less I am proud to have it. It stands today "under glass" in my den along with other items from Newark and other NJ communities. I have been "The" Badge Collector ever since (50+ years).
