Campbell County Sheriff’s Office Honors America's 250th Anniversary with Special Commemorative Badges

RUSTBURG, VA —  In recognition of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce that its deputies will wear special commemorative badges throughout the entire year of 2026.

The custom-designed badges honor America’s Semiquincentennial and reflect the Sheriff’s Office’s continued commitment to service, duty, and the principles on which the nation was founded. Each badge is uniquely personalized with the individual deputy’s name and unit number, underscoring both national pride and personal dedication to public service.

“These commemorative badges represent more than a milestone in our nation’s history—they symbolize the oath our deputies take to uphold the Constitution and serve our community with integrity,” said Sheriff Whit Clark. “Wearing these badges throughout 2026 is a meaningful way for our office to honor 250 years of American independence while recognizing the men and women who continue that legacy of service every day.”

Deputies will wear the commemorative badges during regular duty assignments for the full calendar year of 2026. The badges serve as a visible reminder of the enduring values of freedom, responsibility, and community partnership that guide law enforcement.

The Campbell County Sheriff’s Office is honored to participate in this historic commemoration and looks forward to joining communities across the nation in celebrating 250 years of American independence.
