The band shall be worn on a right diagonal (left shoulder to right hip) across the uniform badge. Sworn and professional staff may wear the memorial badge band horizontally across the Sheriff’s logo on green name badges when authorized by the Sheriff.
The memorial badge band shall be constructed of black braided elastic one-half inch in width and three inches in length, sewn end-to-end.
