The Wichita Police Department has created a 150th-anniversary duty badge to commemorate the founding of the department. Officers now have the option to wear 150th-anniversary commemorative badges instead of the current badges issued. The badges can be worn until the end of 2021. The department was established on April 13, 1871, and the commemorative badge honors one of the first badges issued to WPD marshals, who were the first law enforcement officers in the city.
