Atlanta’s policing history developed alongside its growth from the railroad settlement originally called Terminus. The city elected its first night police in 1853, and the number of policemen increased to 20 in 1858. In 1873, the first Board of Police Commissioners met and named Thomas Jones the first Chief of Police. These milestones connect the Atlanta Police Department with the city’s changing public safety needs across generations. Learn more through the official Atlanta Police Department history.
An Atlanta officer’s memories can begin with a first zone assignment, a trusted partner, and the neighborhoods that became familiar over years of patrol. An Atlanta Police Department ring can preserve those connections while recognizing academy completion, a promotion, or retirement. Start with the part of your service you most want to remember.
Begin with Dunham Jewelry Manufacturing’s Police Rings collection, then discuss the APD details you would like to include in your chosen design.
Why Choose a Custom Atlanta Police Department Ring?
A personal service ring can recognize the part of your career that means the most to you. Before selecting a model, consider these details to discuss with Dunham Jewelry:
- Your name or initials.
- Academy graduation or appointment year.
- Years of service or retirement date.
- Rank, zone, division, or unit.
- A badge number or short personal inscription.
Ask which details fit your selected model and where they can be placed. A clear design with a few meaningful elements can tell your story in a way that is easy to appreciate.
APD Rings: Celebrate Your Department Pride
A zone or unit assignment can recall the colleagues who helped you learn the job. An appointment year can mark a new beginning, while a promotion represents years of preparation. For an APD ring, choose the detail that best connects the design to your own Atlanta career.

Choosing the Right Metal for Your Police Ring
Consider the metal color you prefer, your budget, and how often you plan to wear the ring. Dunham’s ring materials include Palisil, sterling silver, gold, and Questra; confirm the options offered for your selected police model.
- Palisil: A non-precious alloy with a bright white-metal appearance.
- Sterling silver: A traditional precious-metal option.
- Gold: Compare the available karats and colors for your chosen design.
- Questra: A 6-karat yellow gold option.
Ask about care and future resizing before ordering, especially if you hope to pass the ring down within your family. These practical details can help you choose a material for its long-term place in your life.
Personalize Your Ring with Meaningful Details
Consider your badge number, a zone or unit name, or the year you joined APD. A brief inscription can acknowledge a partner, mentor, or family member whose support mattered. Give your most meaningful detail enough space before adding other artwork or lettering.
If you want a specific APD badge, emblem, or unit design, contact Dunham Jewelry to discuss what is available for your chosen model. Confirm the artwork, lettering, and placement before placing your order.
Affordable Police Rings Without Sacrificing Personal Style
Start with a comfortable budget and decide which features matter most. You might prefer a particular metal color, a distinctive top design, or room for a personal inscription.
Compare the models and review the total after customization. A simpler design can help you keep the detail that carries the most meaning while leaving room in the budget for your preferred material.
Police Rings for Every Career Milestone
An Atlanta Police Department ring can commemorate several important chapters in a law enforcement career:
- Completing police academy training.
- Beginning a first patrol assignment.
- Reaching a service anniversary.
- Celebrating a promotion.
- Retiring after years of service.
For a retirement gift, ask whether the officer would like to remember a first zone, a special assignment, or the dates spanning their Atlanta career. Confirm their ring size and preferred metal color before arranging the design.
