The National Police Collectors Show is the premier annual event for law enforcement memorabilia enthusiasts, bringing together collectors from across the country to share their passion, trade, and showcase collections. Since 1985, this tradition has fostered lasting friendships, with many attendees reconnecting each year at the show.
The 2026 show, scheduled for July 10-12 in St. Louis, continues this legacy, featuring displays of badges, patches, and historical First Responder insignia. It's a chance to celebrate the stories behind these items, engage in friendly competition for the coveted “Best of Show” award, and inspire the next generation of collectors.
