If you've arrived here without any knowledge of patch collecting, you will hopefully become a bit interested in this fascinating and rewarding hobby while surfing my pages. Click here to find out what a "patch" actually is.

If you're already a collector yourself, however, you will certainly understand my enthusiasm. Thank you for visiting my site!
I began collecting law enforcement patches and memorabilia in 1989 and turned into a real "patchaholic" in 1995-96. I got my very first police patch ever while I spent some days in San Francisco. A guy who was not at all into patches but realized my interest in police-related things gave me a Dallas, Texas PD emblem he didn't need. That's how it all started....

In 1996 I eventually went online and the Internet has become an indispensable tool (and a lot of fun) in my efforts to expand upon my collection. Additionally, I have met many great people while collecting and made a lot of true friends in the police as well as other professions. This has become much more than a simple hobby...!

  Are You A Patchaholic ?

 Do you enjoy collecting law enforcement insignia ?   If you are interested in a patch trade, feel free to send me an email. You will find a brief Trade List on this site. My stock is usually rather small and subject to constant changes.
If you can tell me what you have for trade, however, I will be sure to tell you which additional items might currently be available for trade (- mostly Austrian, European, and US emblems).
Please check out my Trade Policy as well!

  Looking For Police Vehicle Pictures ?

 Are you after photos of police vehicles ? As I get to travel quite a bit, I have lots of pictures of police cruisers, vans, buses, motorbikes, etc. from Europe and the States.
In general, I will trade these photos for patches rather than other photos as my main focus is on patch collecting. Email me if you want to trade patches for some of my photos.

PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO SHARE IN MOURNING ALL THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN AROUND THE HORRIBLE ATTACKS ON THE WORLD TRADE CENTER AND THE PENTAGON AS WELL AS THE PLANE CRASH NEAR PITTSBURGH ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001. MANY OF THE VICTIMS WERE POLICE OFFICERS, FIREFIGHTERS, AND EMERGENCY PERSONNEL. THEY WORE THEIR PATCHES AND INSIGNIA WITH PRIDE AND WERE KILLED WHILE RESCUING OTHERS...!
