Sugar Land PD Gets New Badges
A citizen's group donated 150 new badges to the Sugar Land Police Department.
SUGAR LAND, TX — Five-oh in Sugar Land are going to be flashing some new brass thanks to a local citizen's group.
The Sugar Land Police Academy Alumni Association donated 150 new badges, totaling more than $20,000, to the Sugar Land Police Department.
A badge designed by a Sugar Land public safety dispatcher was chosen to replace those currently used by SLPD. The existing badges are described as stock badges ordered from a common catalog that lack features unique to Sugar Land.

The new badge includes an oval shape, an eagle, a state seal, American and Texas flags, a ribbon for officers’ badge numbers and rays of sunlight.
The badge also prominently displays the Imperial Sugar char house, an iconic structure that was once the focal point of sugar refinery operations and a building that’s now being preserved and repurposed as a luxury hotel and restaurant.
