I would keep an eye out on eBay...if you haven't already. Go under Collectibles > Historical Memorabilia > Police > Patches > Pennsylvania. I just checked and didn't see any, but I have a collection of police shoulder patches as well. They are mostly from interesting places I've been or ones with wolves. I like wolf stuff and have some neat wolf patches including an indian tribal police patch or two. I also have a collection of the police of the township I live in throughout the years. It's neat to see how they change colors and designs.

Yeah, I've been checking Ebay for quite some time with no luck on these, they seem harder to find than other PA patches. I collect mainly PA State Police items, but also PA sheriffs patches.
Thanks for the response.

If you are a collector, a well-written letter to the Department may yield a positive result. Granted, things may have changed since 9-11.

In the past, a department would issue a patch to another department or collector if requested as a courtesy. I know that, many times, when you walk into a police department within Pennsylvania, you see a large frame hanging on the wall. Inside the frame are generally patches from other departments. I know I see it whenever I go to the Cumberland County Sheriff's office.

Again, 9-11 may have changed that practice. But, what have you got to loose except some time and ink.
