Since its beginning, the men and women of the Pensacola Police Department have proudly served the citizens through the city’s rich history. That practice still exists today.

The Eagle: The eagle at the top of the badge is a symbol of power and sovereignty.

For Pensacola police officers, this symbolizes the courage and freedom for which they fight. Each officer must earn the right to wear the shield, and each one wears it proudly.

The Pensacola Police Department has served its citizen through the city’s rich history. As our community has developed, the practice of appointing someone to enforce the laws honestly and with equity became more common. That practice still exists today through the officers and employees of the Pensacola Police Department. Pensacola’s finest carry on the tradition of excellence - a legacy for others to follow.
