I bet he ain't anymore! He'd be retired now considering the age & condition of his tools.

Those Smith & Wesson cuffs?

Badge is more of a toy than cuffs

Lol! I found the key to those cuffs this year!...let me know if you need the key.

 

[Backbeatkeeper]

Those Smith & Wesson cuffs?

Yes they are!

 

[Backbeatkeeper]

Oh wow! What an awesome find! Is there a badge number on the badge, you could look up?

Badge is number 19. I'm going to call the college from where the badge was made for and ask around.

Badge is State issued, pretty sure it's not too much of a toy.

His name was Beck. (or a derivative thereof)

Nice find.

That reminds me! At the end of the movie "Dirty Harry", Clint Eastwood's character threw his badge into some pond somewhere. Anyone care to research that one!? LOL

Nice!

No cop would throw away his badge and cuffs. If they belonged to a security guard maybe, but a sworn police officer can't because the badge and cuffs are agency property and must be returned to the department. These could very well be stolen, and if so, the badge number and cuff serial numbers have been entered into the NCIC data base. I would contact the agency that's shown on the badge and tell them about your find. You might help to solve a crime.

Were probably dropped by an undercover during a foot chase or scuffle. Sure bet he had some splainin to do to the WC!! Not to mention the hours of paperwork.

Cool find!

I see the link you posted but where did you find the name?

Great job on the recovery. Both are legit department issued equipment. Without even seeing the back of the badge I can tell you it is an Entenmann or Sun badge. Return it to the the RCCPD and be a hero! They could be stolen and dumped property also, and as mentioned before, already entered in to the stolen property system of NCIC. Best of luck, Sub

It's on the right cuff.

We always put our names on the cuff's so when arresting multiple innocent victims at one time, and then transported to the detention facility by someone else, we would get our handcuffs back.

That was back in the day when we had to buy our own. It sucked to buy a nice pair of Peerless or S&W's and get some off brand junk back from the transporting officer.

I would contact my local PD if the agency from the badge isn't local. If the badge was entered NCIC, any PD could access that information. Badges today are tightly regulated and any unaccounted for would be entered mostly likely along with a brief description of the circumstances surrounding the loss/theft. Police Officer deaths and shootings have only recently become a national media topic. Dozens of Officers are killed in the line of duty every year, most don't make it past the local news reports.

There is a chance that you may have stumbled across evidence that can help solve a crime and bring a suspect to justice. Then again, could be just an awesome find.

As a retired officer, I would be very interested in how it plays out. Message me if you have any questions or if I can help in any way.

Here you go try this. You may have already found out who it belonged to and this link is a long shot but who knows. Good luck and nice find!!

Interestingly (to me anyway) is that the seal depicted on the badge is not the same seal as any of the several varieties of official California State seals.
The one on the badge still features Minerva (the Roman goddess of wisdom), and a grizzly bear at her feet.
But the # of stars is different. The sun peeking over the mountains in the background is different, as well as several other discrepancies.

What's strange is I've seen this seal before.
I'm sure it's fairly modern, but not sure which agencies use it, whether it is "official", who designed it, etc...

BTW: The various California seal designs seem to change to keep up with the times.
For example, sailing ships being replaced by steam ships.
Minerva on the other hand, must have some really good skin cream 'cause she doesn't seem to have aged one bit!

Nice find.
I'm sure you can still buy keys online for the cuffs.
