Since the mid-1970's, a large wooden badge greeted visitors of the former Bethel Police Headquarters on Plumtrees Road. The badge had been a gift to now-retired Captain James O'Hara. Over time, the paint faded, but the badge kept its meaning to the Department and was brought to the new station on Judd Avenue during the move. The Department said in a statement that the badge was recently renovated by Records Supervisor Maria Wallenta and is now displayed in the Bethel Police training classroom.
