1984 OLYMPIC GAMES, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, USA:
I am not able to tell if these are authentic
police patches. If anyone can help me with some
information about them, I'd be grateful. The only
information I got about them, is from the seller
on ebay:
The most colorful Law
Enforcement patch ever produced and the rarest.
10 color patch produced for three of the cities
hosting Olympic event. Very few of these were
ever given to officers most went to visiting
dignataries. Only 500 SDPD Olympic Host City
Shoulder Patches produced.

1996 CENTENNIAL OLYMPIC GAMES, ATLANTA,
GEORGIA, USA: Atlanta was the official
host city for the Olympiad, but there were
Olympic venues in Athens (GA), Birmingham (AL),
Cleveland/Ocoee River (TN), Columbus (GA),
Conyers (GA), Gainesville (GA), Jonesboro (GA),
Miami (FL), Orlando (FL), Savannah (GA) and
Washington, D.C. as well.
Olympic Security Team:
The Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG)
had their own security force; made up by 9,000
civilian volunteers plus 2,200 volunteers in the
Security Team Program (STP). The STP volunteers
were active and retired police officers from 54
countries and each state in the U.S., and
provided the unarmed volunteer leadership for
security throughout the Olympic venues. The
civilian security volunteers and the STP
volunteers had the same uniform and the same
shoulder patch, but the civilian volunteers had a
chest patch instead of a badge.
