The Metropolitan Police Memorial & Museum is very pleased to announce a major donation to the historical artifacts collection of the Museum.
Retired U.S. Deputy Marshal John Seay, who worked with the DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) on several occasions, as well as the Fugitive Task Force, has donated his Traditional Inaugural Badge Collection to the DC Metropolitan Police Museum. This near complete collection of highly sought after badges, is a tremendous contribution and an important part of MPD’s unique history.
We thank John for his generosity and commitment to preserving MPD history.
There are more donations of items coming in, which we will share in the coming weeks. If you are a badge aficionado, you may notice a couple of interesting badges in this collection.
