Other Volunteer Opportunities Shield A Badge The Shield a Badge was fi rst started for the offi cers of the Arlington Police Department and since then has spread to other departments. Currently there are Shield a Badge programs in many departments across the United States and in Canada. The Arlington Shield a Badge program continues today, but due to the rapid increase of new Offi cers, totaling nearly 700, we are always in need of more prayer sponsors. The goal of Shield a Badge is to involve the Arlington community in a common commitment. This is to be a daily prayer for safety, good judgment, and a safe return home for each offi cer. This is an opportunity to show support for our offi cers and to help them through the power of prayer. The commitment is for one year. A daily prayer off ered up for the safety of an assigned offi cer. To become involved, contact Offi cer Tim Henz, 817-459-8841, [email protected] -20-
