In 2007, Officer Carl Mase researched and developed a departmental challenge coin. The use of such challenge coins dates back to Word War II and has many different applications and meanings. For us, the Mount Olive Township Police Department, the challenge coin provides the holder with an ever present reminder of what the badge on their uniform represents. Only sworn police officers for the Township of Mount Olive are given the honor of having one. The photo below shows the front and back view of the challenge coin. The six words engraved on the coin; honor, dignity, pride, respect, courtesy and integrity succinctly encapsulate the tenets described in our department’s Mission Statement.
It is with great pride and honor that we, the members of the Mount Olive Township Police Department, serve our community.
