Purchase Proper Use of a Chaplain's Badge Many emergency services agencies issue metal badges to their uniform chaplains to identify 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 wording chaplain or police chaplain. Some agencies will only issue their chaplains cloth badges. Some police and fire agencies do not include a badge as a uniform code. However, by choice, some chaplains 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.​ A badge is a part of your professional identity, just like other tools you use. Before buying one, think about whether you really need a badge as part of your duty gear. In disaster zones, our chaplains use their badges to quickly identify themselves, along with "CHAPLAIN" jackets and polo shirts. But in other areas of chaplain ministry, a badge might not be necessary. When you wear a badge, be aware of your behavior and avoid being mistaken for a law enforcement officer. Be cautious of organizations that offer a quick one-day training, a chaplain ID card, and a badge, claiming to make you a chaplain overnight. Chaplaincy is a serious profession that takes years to master. CI Car Decal $10 - Pair ​When responding to an emergency, you need proper identification.
