In Loving Memory P.O. Charles "Chuck" Kobel, NYPD (Ret.)
Welcome to our Website: (Last Updated: April 28th, 2012)HELP WANTED - NYPD Cloth Insignia We are in the process of conducting extensive research into the cloth insignia of the New York City Police Department, including insignia of the former New York City Housing Authority Police and New York City Transit Authority Police. As a result we are interested in hearing from other dedicated NYC Police collectors who can provide information on cloth insignia. Please click the "Help Wanted" link for more information.
Who we are:My introduction to collecting started in 1986 when I was a rookie Police Officer. I received my first patch from the German Federal Border Patrol and I was hooked. During the past two decades I have gone through many different phases. I even once had the grand idea to collect "All" Federal patches...... yes, I know there are a lot of people who just chuckled at that one. A divorce a number of years back caused me to sell off a large chunk of my collections, but I have rebuilt slowly over the years and have refined my interests. Now with a supportive wife, and children who are the next generation of collectors, I have begun to re-focus. Oh yeah, and retiring from the NYPD after twenty years of service has helped with the former time constraints that always seemed to keep me from accomplishing this in the past. So what do we collect? Well, we all have our specialties, and our side collections. Here is a brief running list of what we are generally interested in.
So, on that note we will bid you a fond journey through our site. If you have comments, questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Fraternally yours, Andrew & Nancy Nelson
