HOW IT WORKS
Creating custom railroad police badges, built for rail protection

Owl Badges manufactures railroad police badges from raw metal — die-struck, plated, and personalized for every railroad size, from short-line operators with a single sworn officer to regional rail forces with full investigation units.

Six reasons short-line, regional, and freight switching railroad protection programs trust Owl Badges to manufacture their police badges and rail special agent badges.
Railroad police ranks and titles
From chiefs of railroad police to railroad protection officers and rail special agents — every rank from short-line single-officer forces to multi-state regional rail protection programs.
Chief of Railroad Police
Top-ranking sworn officer commanding a railroad police department. Responsible for federal commissioning compliance, hiring, training, and overall rail security strategy across all railroad operating territory.
Deputy Chief / Assistant Chief
Second-in-command on larger regional rail forces. Handles day-to-day operations, multi-state coordination, and oversight of railroad investigation units and special agent programs.
Railroad Police Captain
Mid-level command officer responsible for a division, region, or specialized unit within a railroad police force — often supervising freight switching, yard protection, or rail cargo theft investigation teams.
Railroad Police Lieutenant
Field supervisor overseeing patrol officers and shift operations across railroad property. Common rank in regional rail forces and larger short-line railroad police departments.
Railroad Police Sergeant
First-line supervisor leading patrol squads, yard protection details, or special details. Direct supervisor for railroad police officers in patrol and switching operations.
Special Agent (Railroad)
Federally and state-commissioned investigator handling rail cargo theft, vandalism, trespassing prosecutions, and multi-jurisdiction rail crimes. Rail special agents are the investigative core of most regional and Class II/III railroad police forces.
Railroad Police Officer
Sworn patrol officer with full railroad police authority across operating territory. Conducts patrols, responds to incidents, enforces railroad property law, and protects rail employees, cargo, and infrastructure.
Railroad Investigator
Civilian or sworn investigator focused on rail cargo theft, equipment vandalism, trespassing prosecution, and incident reconstruction. Common title in short-line and regional rail forces without full sworn special agent programs.
