Vintage West Virginia: New police badges

Mayor John Hutchinson pins a new badge on Police Chief John Bailes as Lt. L.E. Edwards waits for his. The presentation began the observance of National Police Week. The entire 172-person force received both breast and hat badges, which cost the city $8,000. May 12, 1975, photo by William Tiernan.
