Happy New Year. I am continuing the monthly post regarding my collection of Defunct New Jersey Probation Badges. There are 21 counties in the Garden State and I have been trying for well over 30 years to obtain at least one badge for each county.
To start 2026 I will display badges from Monmouth County and the full collection in this post.
Starting at the top you will see two giant, silver tone badges with an Eagle on top. They both have recessed, with enamel fill, letters that read: PROBATION, MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ. In the center is a multi color seal which was introduced in the late 1960's.
These Badges were gifted to me shortly after the State took over all County Departments and created a single agency. They have been in my collection roughly 28 years.
In addition the last picture above shows all the Probation Officer Badges in my Collection. I still need a few, but I am quite happy with the total to date. All of these badges are in Oak display cases and have a prominent place in my office. I'm very happy to have them.
I collect N.J."County" Probation Officer Badges, so if you have one that you would like to move on please contact me: jerseychief@gmail.com
