National Police Week Thank You Card

Show your support for a special police officer or your local police department with a National Police Week card! In 2022, National Police Week falls on May 15-21. + We are calling the blue shield device on items in this product line “St. Michael’s Shield” to parallel the “St. Florian’s Cross” of firefighters. Over the centuries, St. Michael the Archangel, patron saint of police officers, has most often been depicted in art wearing a helmet and armor and carrying a sword and shield. The shape of his shield has varied according to the time and the place where the artist lived. It’s been round, oval, rectangular, and most of the various armorial shapes familiar from heraldry. In recent times, religious medal makers have adopted law enforcement badge shapes to cast St. Michael medals; hence, our design’s designation. The blue badge’s generic appearance, however, makes it universally suitable for law enforcement professionals of all persuasions. + Also available as an oversized greeting card and as a house- or garden flag.
