The new Arkansas State Police Badges will have a classic look.

Thanks to a contribution from the Arkansas State Police Foundation Board, officers of the Arkansas State Police are wearing new badges with historical significance. 

According to the release from the ASP, troopers will be wearing the original Arkansas State Police Rangers badge. The first Arkansas Rangers were 13 men hired in 1935.

The release goes on to say that today’s patrol, led by Colonel Mike Hagar and his command staff, are committed to remaining true to Ranger values by staying focused on the ASP’s modern mission: Protecting the lives and property of Arkansans through law enforcement services.
