33020.9.6 Draped Badges Funeral or Mourning Period

• The departmental regulation dome badge shall be draped in the approved manner at all correctional institutions immediately upon the determination that a Correctional Peace Officer has been killed in the line of duty. Such draping shall continue through the day of the funeral or as deemed appropriate by the Director.

  • No draping of the departmental regulation dome badge shall occur for other than Correctional Peace Officers killed in the line of duty except as authorized by the institution head.

  • The draping of the Badge shall be a ¾ inch wide band of black elastic cloth placed over the bottom portion of the badge covering the number on the badge. This is the tradition of peace officers showing their unity after the tragic loss of a fellow peace officer.
