Why I Wear the Badge
With the display of the badge comes great responsibility. So why do hundreds of thousands of men and women wear the badge each day?
#WhyIWearTheBadge is a campaign designed to highlight the diversity and commitment of the law enforcement profession. The badge is a symbol of courage, strength, and integrity. Through photos, videos, and other testimonials, law enforcement officers from around the world are sharing their #WhyIWearTheBadge stories and statements. Law enforcement officers are invited to join the #WhyIWearTheBadge campaign and to challenge other leaders, agencies, and groups (such as recruit classes) to share their stories.
