Badge Security Solutions
Visual and Smart Police Officer and Badge Validation
A police badge, fire badge, sheriff badge, or government badge is a powerful symbol that helps to identify the wearer as a public safety official. In the wrong hands a badge can be very dangerous.
Corruption, impersonation, and poor inventory management were the catalyst for Blackinton in developing our badge security solutions. We wanted a solution that not only helped agencies and departments protect themselves, but the public as well. Our tamper-proof field proven technologies are scalable to meet the needs of every agency.
Whether your need is to have instant validation that a badge and police officer is authentic, or to have electronic data validation we have a solution for you. Blackinton is the only badge manufacturer in the world authorized to sell the below field proven security solutions.
