There is hereby designated a breast badge, to be worn by each member of the police department, which shall be roughly oblong in shape, three inches long at its greatest length and two and one-sixteenth inches wide at its greatest width, or two and one-half inches long at greatest length and one and seven-eighths inches wide at its greatest width. It shall consist of a five pointed star set against a field of blue flowed enamel, with two circular ropes in the blue flowed enamel field. Such star shall have a large printed “D” in the center and the two horizontal points of the star shall be capped with circles. Above such star shall be printed the word “Police” in a convex arc. Just below the left horizontal point of the star shall be printed the word “Dallas” and below the right horizontal point of the star shall be printed the word “Texas”. Between the two lower points of the star shall be the number of the badge wearer, and just below such number at the base of the badge shall be printed the rank of the policeman in a concave arc.
All lettering and numerals except the “D” in the center of the star shall be recessed in black enamel. Blue flowed enamel is to be recessed in 15 separate places on the badge, such points to be on each side of the coiled ropes between the points of the star. (Code 1941, Art. 109-15; Ord.
