Proper Use of the 
​CI Authorized Badge

Picture
​ Many emergency services agencies issue metal badges to their uniform chaplains for identifying the minister as a member in good standing and their allegiance to the police or fire agency they serve. Badge styles will vary from one agency to another. In some municipalities, the chaplain wears a traditional metal badge, in most cases identical to the police officer badge with one exception.

The title police officer is customarily engraved on the upper panel of the shield. The police officer title is replaced with the title of chaplain or police chaplain.

Some agencies will only issue their chaplain's cloth badges. Some police and fire agencies do not include a badge as part of their uniform code. However, some chaplains by choice carry a generic chaplain's badge with their official departmental ID.

Often, the chaplain wears a chaplain badge at the belt 
level while on duty and usually by permission of the agency they serve. Chaplains International offers its ministers different badge styles with the official organization name on the badge. Each badge is customized with the chaplain's official ID number on the bottom panel. Many agencies prefer the chaplain to carry an organizational shield instead of a public agency shield, thus representing the organization (Chaplains International) while on duty. The generic badge can be used though it bears no affiliation to any organization.
