Washington District of Columbia D. C. Metro Transit Police Patch

Description

From the
Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit Authority..
“In 1976, Congress authorized the establishment of the Metro Transit Police Department (MTPD). MTPD police officers have tri-state jurisdiction with responsibility for a variety of law enforcement and public safety functions in transit facilities throughout the
Washington
,
DC
Metropolitan area.”
“MTPD has an authorized strength of 490 sworn police officers, 64 security special police, and 91 civilian personnel. Officers provide a variety of law enforcement and public safety services on the Metrorail and Metrobus systems in the Washington Metropolitan Area.”
“MTPD police officers have jurisdiction and arrest powers throughout the 1,500 square mile Transit Zone that includes
Maryland
,
Virginia
, and the
District of Columbia
for crimes that occur in or against Transit Authority facilities. It is the only tri-jurisdictional police agency in the country and serves a population of 3.2 million.”
This patch is like new, clean and fresh.  It is not a uniform take off, and has never been sewn on.
I will charge only towards packing and first class shipping and will absorb any domestic postage over that.  Ships to
U.S.
only.
This is a very colorful and well made patch.
It is rather large and measures a full 5” high x 3.75” wide
Note:  This item conveys no law enforcement authority and is sold for collectible purposes only.  It is not a badge.  Please ask any questions before bidding as refunds are not offered.  Thanks for looking and good luck!
