Police Button research help needed ??

[Fatboy]

Heres my first attemtp to post a whatzit. Found this at about 14" with my White's XLT at my inlaws house. You can clearly read "Buffalo City Police" and "T. Kirkpatric N.Y." on the opposite side. Any ideas as to how old ? I can only assume Buffalo NY as well. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

The button can only be as old as April 1871. (This taken from the site below)
