Overview of the First Class Security Officer Shield Badge | BA17
The First Class Security Officer Silver Shield Badge (BA17) gives security professionals a clean, official identity to wear on duty. This silver shield badge reads Security Officer in bold blue lettering, with a laurel wreath border framing a bright sunburst face. At the center sits an enameled Liberty and Justice for All seal showing the liberty bell between two U.S. flags.
Built for Everyday Security Duty
Built for daily wear, the BA17 uses hard enameled seals, a durable lacquered finish, and a deluxe backing that holds firm on a uniform shirt or jacket. A blank plate at the base is ready for custom ID engraving of up to four characters, so you can add a badge number that is uniquely yours. Measuring 3 ⅜" x 2 ¼", it is a strong fit for contract security officers, in-house guards, and loss prevention staff who need a professional look the public recognizes on sight.

- Fits many standard shield-shaped badge holders and wallets; check your holder window before ordering.
