There has been a lot of press lately about offensive challenge coins. Mostly they are simply the result of some poor attempt at humor. Almost none are actually produced for legitimate First Responders but rather for groups attempting to associate themselves with responsible first responder departments. For example, a coin with the Phoenix Police Department name circulated depicting a protester being shot with a pepper ball in the groin. Other coins have used stereotypes to depict or describe members of society.
While these are the extremes, it is important always be aware that anything that carries your department’s name will be the way your department is viewed and we are all often seen based on the actions of a few.
On a more positive note Challenge Coins are an amazing way to introduce your department to the public and to build support outside and inside the organization. At RespondersPro.com we have helped create many philosophies of how challenge coins and embroidered patches are used in public relations campaigns to build trust and to show leadership.
PELL CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT, AL
Challenge Coins that Inspire
When the Pell City Police in Alabama decided to create a Challenge Coin for their Sergeants, they took the time to make sure the coin was impressive and on target. While most forces will order 1.75” coins Pell went with a 2” for the most dramatic impact. As you can see the badge on the coin is 3D and vibrant colors are used both on the badge and the city emblem. These Police coins were also packaged in individual PVC coin sleeves to preserve the value and collectability. The Sergeants of Pell City can proudly use and display this fine memento of their very special Police Department and city.
