Winter Park Police Department Challenge Coins
Honor Winter Park’s Finest with Winter Park Police Department Challenge Coins
The history of Winter Park Florida is a classic tale of American tenacity and industriousness. From the moment in 1858 when David Mizell, Jr purchased an eight-acre plot of land situated between three lakes, the city has been on the ascendant in Central Florida. The area was originally called Lake View, but in 1881, the name was changed to Winter Park as the tropical climate and beautiful landscape quickly became a winter resort for northerners looking to escape the frigid winter months.
An 1887 breakin at a local storefront would go unsolved and inspire the formation of the town’s first law enforcement office beyond the sheriff. Since then, the men and women of Winter Park police department have gone above and beyond protecting the people and property of the scenic city. The officers have often been called on to offer their services to even the most colorful of Winter Park’s residents.
In In 1945, Hugh F. and Jeannette McKean adopted a pair of peacocks for their lawn. Needing more space, the peacocks were moved to the land on Genius Drive in 1950. Their numbers increased over the years. Today, the peacocks are often seen strutting around the city. They’ve become such a fixture of the city that they’ve been incorporated into the city’s seal and flag. If rowdy citizens harm the beautiful birds, you can be sure that WPPD will be on the scene.

What Are Winter Park Police Department Challenge Coins?
Winter Park Police Department challenge coins are the perfect way to build unity and a sense of inclusion amongst officers. Born of the military tradition, challenge coins have long been a way to mark career milestones and reward the exceptional service of first responders. Keeping a city safe and orderly is a hard work, and the men and women who do it go above and beyond each shift. Being recognized by their captains and other supervisors goes a long way towards keeping their morale up.
In addition to boosting morale, the traditions surrounding challenge coins help to instill a sense of unity and cohesion amongst officers. Whenever an officer produces their coin, a challenge is initiated to the other officers. If anyone of those officers is incapable of producing their own custom challenge coin immediately, that officer has to buy drinks for the others. If, however, everyone produces their coins immediately, the challenging WPPD officer is forced to buy a round of drinks for everyone.
If there’s one thing that’s clear about Winter Park, it’s that the people of the city like the finer things in life. From the fine shopping down Park Ave. to the most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany housed in the Morse Museum, the citizens of Winter Park respond to artistry and craftsmanship. With Signature Coins, your custom challenge coins are sure to live up to the high standards of the city. Made with only the finest materials and fully customized by you, WPPD challenge coins are unique and personal honors for the officer who earns one.
