One reader of The Centurions Shield: Badges of the LAPD said, “I am a recently new collector of police badges, and this book is amazing. I have learned new terminology and has even helped me with badges in general, not just LAPD badges. A must for anyone who collects police insignia.”

One reader of The Centurions Shield: Badges of the LAPD said, “This book provides excellent information about LAPD badges, ID cards, and insignia for the collector. It also covers badges from other city agencies as well as obsolete and prototype badges. However, I thought the best part of the book was the chapter on the history of the LAPD, starting with its days as a volunteer force in the mid 1800's. I would recommend it only to law enforcement buffs, LAPD personnel, and badge collectors.”
