Custom Police Coins - Meaning & Significance
The history of challenge coins dates back to the Roman Empire, where soldiers were given coins to prove their identity and loyalty. For over thirty years, RespondersPro has been working with police departments to create unique and outstanding police challenge coins as they are such an integral part of the police and law enforcement tradition and culture.
Police challenge coins are a way for members of law enforcement to commemorate and celebrate their time in service. For police officers, these coins represent more than just a token of appreciation - they represent the values, traditions, and brotherhood of law enforcement.
Every custom police challenge coin has a deep meaning and significance for that police or law enforcement department. Each detail on a police challenge coin has a specific significance, representing the values and traditions of law enforcement.
How Custom Police Challenge Coins are effective in Police Departments
In recent years challenge coins have become an important tool for police departments across the country. These police challenge coins are typically given to officers for exemplary service, for completing a difficult task and congratulations for a job well done. They can also be used to award officers who have shown bravery in the line of duty.
In addition, challenge coins can be used as a way to build team spirit and morale within a department. Many departments have their own custom challenge coins made, which feature the department's logo and motto. By handing out these coins to officers, department leaders can show their appreciation for their service while also promoting department pride.
Ultimately, challenge coins are an effective way to recognize and reward officers for their dedication to keeping communities safe.
Our RespondersPro design team is aware that whether they are used to honor bravery or simply boost morale, custom police challenge coins play an important role in many police and law enforcement departments and agencies.

Police Blue - Symbolic, Practical, Powerful
The color blue has been associated with law enforcement for centuries. In fact, the first recorded use of blue uniforms by police officers dates back to 1829 in London.
At the time, blue was considered to be a calming color that would help to defuse tense situations. In addition, blue was also seen as a symbol of authority and strength. Over time, the color blue became increasingly popular with police forces around the world, and it eventually became the standard color for law enforcement uniforms.
Today, the color blue continues to be universally associated with police and law enforcement and is recognized as a symbol of trust, respect and safety. Blue is also widely recognized as a symbol of all that is good in the world of law enforcement.
Design Your Own Police Challenge Coin
Designing a challenge coin for your police department can be a fun and rewarding experience. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
1. Start by deciding what size and shape police coin you are interested in. Although most challenge coins are round and the standard size 1.75'', RespondersPro has designed custom police challenge coins of various sizes and shapes as needed by our first responders.
2. Think about what images you want to use for your coin - on the front and back. Do you want to use an image of your department's badge or patch? Or perhaps an image of your city's skyline? Think about images and symbols that are inspiring and unique to your department. The sky is the limit - be creative!
3. Once you have chosen an image, decide on the colors you want to use. Remember, RespondersPro.com works with the PMS Color Match System so let us know the PMS# of your department colors, and any colors you would like incorporated on your police challenge coin.
4. Now it's time to add some text. This is where you can include the name of your department, the motto of your department, or any other message you want to include on the coin. Keep it short and sweet - you don't want to overcrowd the coin.
5. Finally, choose a finish for your coin. Do you want it to be shiny? Matte? Antique? The choice is up to you!
6. Enjoy the process!
Following these simple guidelines will help you make a police challenge coin that is distinctive to you and your department. RespondersPro's design and graphics department is also part of the creative mix when going through all of the design elements and details.
The Wrap-Up
RespondersPro knows that the design and creation of a custom police coin is a privilege. The more thought that goes into the design of a Custom Police Challenge Coin, the more impactful it will be.
Coin patina, colors, images, and text are important aspects when designing Custom Police Challenge Coins because they help to communicate the meaning and symbolism of the coin. The image on the front of the coin is usually the most important, as it is what people will see first. The text on the back of the coin can also be important, as it can provide additional information about the coin's meaning and symbolism.
When done correctly, images, text and colors all come together to create a powerful and memorable custom police challenge coin that commemorates and represents the values of your police and law enforcement department.
