U.S. Border Patrol
Badges
The standard official U.S. Border Patrol badge has retained its basic shape since the 1940's after a redesign of the first official badge worn in the 1920's-1930's. The center seal has changed to reflect the different parent organizations that the Border Patrol has fallen under from the Department of Labor to the Department of Homeland Security.
Several commemorative badges have been available to agents to signify special anniversaries or events. A few of these have been authorized to be worn.
Although badges were made for the various ranks, only one example per each style is shown.
NOTE: Dates are based on information received when badges/images were obtained.
