About My Collection
About My Collection
My collection began in the early 1990s when I was an Explorer for the Fairfax City Police Department in Fairfax, Virginia. It has grown steadily ever since, even as my interest and time, sometimes dictated otherwise.
I now have one of the largest, and most complete, collections of Virginia law enforcement patches known – and the only one that is available for online viewing in its entirety.
About Me
I founded, and currently serve as Chairman, The Officer Down Memorial Page, Inc. The ODMP is dedicated to honoring every fallen law enforcement hero in the country. I have had the good fortune to be able to research fallen officers from Virginia and have discovered over three dozen forgotten heroes who are now honored on the National Memorial.
I am also the General Manager of PoliceLink, the first social and career networking community dedicated specifically to law enforcement personnel. If you’re looking to make connections with officers from anywhere in the country (or world, for that matter), go join PoliceLink today. If you join, my PoliceLink user name is Chris_Cosgriff – add me to your friend’s list.
