What Are Trooper Association Challenge Coins?
In 1989, a collection of state troopers from Florida decided an organization of state troopers, highway patrol officers and state police officers was needed to best take care of their interests. As a result, the American Association of State Troopers was born. Unlike other organizations that cropped up around the nation, the AAST isn’t a labor union or collective bargaining organization. Instead, the association is comprised of voluntary members from around the country with the goal of promoting professional law enforcement training and strengthening the bonds of nationwide trooper camaraderie.
When attempting to increase camaraderie amongst members, there can be no better option than issuing law enforcement challenge coins. Since their inception, challenge coins have existed to signify the unity and connection between soldiers and officers. Each individual state might have its own group of state troopers, but to bring these officers together and unite them under one collective symbol, turn to custom trooper association challenge coins.
Challenge coins are often earned by officers from their superiors in recognition of achieved career milestones or exceptional on the job service. Trooper association challenge coins can be granted when a new officer is added to the ranks. More than recognition of a specific event, they represent a person’s belonging to an exclusive club of officers. Each trooper carrying a challenge coin knows that he or she is connected to countless other officers across the nation by this small keepsake.

- Offset Printing — Offset printing creates an exact replica of an image or photograph on the surface of your coin.
- Silk Screen — Let your coin maintain a perfectly smooth surface by silk screening your design’s colors onto the coin.
