Boston Police Department Badge Description

Boston Police Department Badge

Honor History. Celebrate Service. Preserve Hub Law Enforcement Legacy.

This Boston Police Department Badge is a premium collectible replica inspired by one of America’s most historic law enforcement agencies — recognized as the oldest police department in the country, formally organized in 1854 with roots tracing to a night watch established in 1631 . Featuring the iconic BPD shield design — the galloping Paul Revere symbolizing speedy service, the Boston skyline from the harbor, Old North Church steeple, Faneuil Hall, and the historic Latin motto — this badge embodies the core values of Honor, Courage, and Community Protection that have defined Boston’s finest for nearly two centuries .

The badge’s design incorporates significant Revolutionary-era symbolism: the rider atop a horse is Paul Revere, representing readiness and swift response. To the left stands the steeple of Old North Church, where Revere arranged his famous signal about the British invasion. To the right is Faneuil Hall, the historic meeting place where Revolutionary speeches were made . The badge bears three Latin inscriptions referencing Boston’s founding as a town in 1630 and its incorporation as a city in 1822, plus the motto “Sicut patribus sit deus nobis” — a translation of 1 Kings 8:57 meaning “God be with us as He was with our fathers” .

Reproductions of obsolete badge styles are also widely collected, offered as “collectable insignia only” intended for professional display in glass cases .
