Description
This metal badge features the Alamo Police Department insignia, serving the city of Alamo, Texas, in Hidalgo County in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. It is an oval shield badge struck in polished gold, framed by a laurel wreath border and built around the city seal.
Shape & Base: The badge is die-struck as an upright oval shield, and a continuous laurel wreath runs the full perimeter rather than the beaded rivet dots used on other oval designs in this gallery. Inside that border the field is cut as a radiating sunburst, with fine lines fanning outward behind the raised elements.
Center: The upper half carries the city seal in raised relief, with an eagle in flight above the words CITY OF, the name ALAMO struck large beneath it, and the motto REFUGE TO THE VALLEY set in italic script below that. Lower down, a black enamel ring carries STATE OF TEXAS in gold lettering around a gold star set in a laurel wreath.
Ring & Banner Lettering: ALAMO arcs across the top rim of the oval in black-filled letters. Two gold banners cross the lower half reading POLICE and DEPARTMENT, with a plate beneath them reading TX, all lettered in black fill against bare metal.
Enamel & Tonal Detail: Black enamel appears in one place only, as the ring around the state seal at the center. Everything else on the badge is carried in polished gold, so the wreath border, the sunburst, the eagle and the city motto all read through relief alone.
Finish Quality: Die-struck in solid metal with a polished gold plating, hand-finished so every leaf in the wreath border holds its edge and the fine script of the city motto stays legible at size. For the constable office serving the same county, see the Hidalgo County Constable Precinct 3 badge.
