So I read in the "Ask a cop" forum about the traffic pin and I was curious about other depts. SWAT insignia. My dept. does not currently have a SWAT but we will probably be there in about 2 - 4 yrs. So lets see what your dept. uses.

Our dept. issues a gold eagle that can be worn on your uniform after you clear swat probation (1yr).

The 1* isn't so much a SWAT pin as it's a general LE pin.
We have a gold eagle, similar to the one at the top. It is worn upon completion of our basic swat operator school and activation to the team.

Ours just says "SWAT" on a pin. We have uniform patches for our cammies.
Ours are pretty basic. We prefer it that way.

We wear a SWAT rocker on our right shoulder and a pin with a yellow happy face wearing a police dress cap on our right pocket flap. The pin was given to us by our former chief, whom has past away.
Is there an easier way to post pics without setting up a picture account?

My old department (when I was on SWAT) used the eagle pictured by SGTCHP. It is called an "Operators Pin" They are available at
