Shoulder Patch Requests
Since the inception of our web site, we
have received numerous requests for departmental shoulder patches from
collectors. Due to the cost and time involved in answering all of these
requests, the Hanahan Police Department regrets to inform you that
we will not honor any requests for the departmental shoulder patches
at this time.
We also ask that you refrain from sending any e-mail requesting patches,
as it will delay our answering other e-mail inquiries in a prompt manner.
Any e-mail received on this subject will not be replied to. We thank
you for your cooperation in this matter, and if our policy should change
in the future it will be announced on this web site.
Our agency will participate in an "exchange
in kind" trade
with other law enforcement agencies for their departmental collections
only. To obtain a last generation patch which was proudly worn by a Hanahan Police Officer ,the following protocol must be followed:
- Any request from within the United States
must originate from another law enforcement agency and must
be submitted on agency letterhead bearing the signature of the agency
head.
Our
patch can be displayed for agency use only, not for individual
patch collections.
- We will not honor any patch request from outside the United States.
- A reciprocal
patch from the requesting agency must accompany the inquiry.
- Requests made in compliance with our policy should be directed
to:

Quick
Tip
|
 Seat belts are the most effective safety devices in vehicles today, estimated to save 9,500 lives each year. To get the most benefit out of your seat belt, you should wear it low over the pelvis with the bottom edge touching the tops of the thighs. The shoulder belt should be worn over the shoulder and across the chest, not under the arm and over the abdomen. Make certain that the shoulder belt is not worn so loosely that it does not slide off your shoulder. Pregnant women should wear the lap belt below the abdomen and the shoulder belt above the belly.
