About The Author
James Casey has been collecting and researching police memorabilia for nearly 30 years. As a child he was fascinated by his grandfather’s badge and duty belt. Following in his grandfather’s footsteps Jim would wear his own badge as a police officer, detective and police chief.
In an effort to share his passion for the history of law enforcement, especially the badge, Jim set up a mobile police museum display in the 1980’s that he has shown from coast to coast at schools, service clubs, collector shows and law enforcement open house events. He also publishes a web site, www.policeguide.com and published a travel guide to police and fire museums. He has served as a department historian for both police and sheriff’s offices and continues to collect and research badges.
