Gifts for Police Officers That Honor the Badge
An officer's career is measured in early roll calls, tough calls, and years of showing up. A gift should carry some of that weight.
Upload any photo — your kid, your pet, your whole team — pick a pro template, and we print and ship a real, holdable card in 2–3 days.
The default police gifts, a thin-blue-line keychain, a novelty mug, a wall plaque, are fine, but they're mass-produced and say nothing about the actual officer wearing the badge.
Snapshot turns a photo of the officer into a custom trading card, their own tribute card, printed on premium 16pt stock and delivered in a magnetic display case. Uniform, name, rank, badge number if you like, and a stat line: department, years of service, unit. It's specific to them in a way a keychain never is.
Here's why it lands and how to make one.
We've built law-enforcement tribute cards where rank, badge number, and years-of-service lines need to sit cleanly on a uniform photo at card size, for single retirements and full academy classes.

How to Make an Officer's Card
Three steps, no design skills needed.
Pick the photo
A uniform portrait, an academy graduation shot, or a promotion photo. Clear and well-lit prints best.
Add the details
Choose a design, then add name, rank, and a stat line: department, years of service, unit, and badge number if you want it.
We print and ship
Printed on premium 16pt stock, sealed in a magnetic display case, and shipped from the USA in 2-3 days.
The result is a tribute card built to be displayed and kept.
Why a Custom Card Honors an Officer Best
A tribute should be as specific as the service. Here's what a card gets right.
Rank and years of service on the face
'Sergeant, 18 years, K-9 Unit' printed on a card turns a career into something you can hold, not a generic 'thin blue line' slogan.
Their photo, in uniform
You use a real photo, an academy graduation shot, a promotion portrait, a candid in uniform, so the card is unmistakably theirs.
Ships display-ready
It arrives in a magnetic display case, ready to stand on a duty desk, a shadow-box shelf, or a mantel at home.
One officer or a whole squad
A single retirement card, or a set for a shift or academy class. Additional cards run about $2 each, up to 18 in a box.

When an Officer Card Fits
Moments where a personalized card outshines the usual gift-shop pick.
Retirement after decades on the force
A tribute card with rank and years of service is a dignified send-off the whole department can get behind, more personal than a plaque.
Academy graduation
A new officer's first card marks the start of a career, dated to their academy graduation, a keepsake they'll still have years later.
Promotion to a new rank
Making sergeant, lieutenant, or detective is worth marking. A card with the new rank captures the milestone.
Why People Choose a Card for Their Officer
These get made for the moments that matter: retirements after decades on the force, academy graduations, and promotions to a new rank. The pattern is consistent, givers want the officer's actual rank, department, and years on the card, and they want a tribute that stands in a shadow box or on a desk rather than another keychain in a drawer.
