Here at Maxsell.com we have a responsibility to only sell Law Enforcement badges to authorized individuals and organizations. We take that responsibility very seriously and do require identification before we can process certain orders. We also reserve the right to cancel any order we feel is inappropriate. Please review the information below.
All IDs and/or Letters can be faxed to (954) 571-2101 or scanned and emailed to us at customerquestions@maxsell.com
Notice to all badge collectors:
Our badges are sold strictly for collecting, display, and theatrical purposes. They are superbly made, custom die badges.
Federal Law (HR 4827, Law #106-547), pertaining to badge possession, collecting, and use went into effect on 12/19/2000. This law makes the shipping, possession and use of Police badges and Police badge replicas a crime if they are used for any purpose other than the following:
1. as a memento, or in a collection
2. for decorative purposes;
3. for a dramatic presentation;
4. or for any other recreational purpose.
Collectors agree to adhere to the law stated above. Any order placed for law enforcement badges for collecting purposes must be accompanied by a copy of your driver's license. Please fax the copy to (954) 571-2101 or email it to customerquestions@maxsell.com. Law enforcement stock badges may be purchased for collecting. Custom engraved law enforcement badges may only be sold to law enforcement officers. |

State and Local Law Enforcement |
| We request a Department ID be faxed to our office to process your order. The ID must have the name of the person placing the order. We may also accept a letter on department letterhead stating the person placing the order is authorized to purchase a badge representing that department. The letter must be signed by a superior officer. We rserve the right to contact the department to verify employment. |
 |
Federal Law Enforcement |
| On any badge representing, mentioning, or resembling a Federal Agency, we require a Federal picture ID OR a letter on department letterhead, signed by a superior officer specifically stating that the person placing the order has authorization to purchase a badge representing the agency. There are no exceptions! |

 |
Here is an example of what a Department Letter of authorization might look like. It must be on department letterhead and explicitly state that the person placing the order is an employee of that department and authorized to purchases a badge representing it. It must then be signed by a superior officer.
An example of an acceptable letter:
Petty Officer Smith is authorized to purchase a U.S. Navy Law Enforcement badge. |
