Patch Collecting

A 17-year-old Corvallis High School student designed the Benton County Sheriff’s Office patch in 1985 through a design contest. The patch features Marys Peak in the background and the historic Benton County Courthouse in the foreground.

For Private Display Only

We offer patches for private display only. Do not wear them on clothing.

Oregon law classifies Impersonating a Peace Officer as a felony. Specifically, this includes wearing a law enforcement uniform. A uniform includes clothing bearing words such as “police,” “sheriff,” “state trooper,” or “law enforcement.” It also includes clothing that closely resembles an official uniform.

Therefore, collectors must keep patches for display purposes and must not wear them.

How To Order

To order a patch, send the following items to the address below:

A $5.00 money order payable to “Benton County Sheriff’s Office”
A self-addressed stamped #10 envelope

Note: We do not accept personal checks or cash.

Send your money order and self-addressed stamped envelope to:

Benton County Sheriff’s Office
Parole and Probation Division
ATTN: Patch Collecting

Note to International Collectors

Unfortunately, we cannot send patches to addresses outside of the United States. We appreciate your interest in the Benton County Sheriff’s Office.
