Sea Girt Police Department

The Sea Girt Police Department is very excited to introduce our new police badge. Much thought, discussion, and hard work went into creating a design that was modern, but yet classic and represented the community our officers serve. Lighthouses have always symbolized hope and safety, guiding sailors through challenging conditions. Just like Sea Girt’s beacon, our team is here for you, shining a light through every storm for those in need. Our new badge is more than a symbol of our authority, it is a true representation of the officers who have dedicated their lives to safety and service here in Sea Girt. We believe in community policing and our new badge design was a way to exemplify how much this community means to our agency. Special thanks to the team at Entenmann-Rovin Co. , especially Laura Linares, for helping us design these legacy shields with utmost respect for Sea Girt's story and history. #seagirtpolice #seagirtnj #policebadge #Police
