Wagner’s Chief of Police, Damon Griffith, came up with an innovative idea. He saw that the Wagner Police Department’s uniform sleeve badges were not only very basic but in desperate need of an updated design. Griffith thought instead of paying a very expensive fee for an outside company to design a new uniform badge that it would be a great opportunity to partner with the Wagner Community School and have some of the amazing young local artists design the new uniform badges because no one is more creative than high school art students. Griffith took this idea and put it into the hands of Stewart Bass, WCS Resource Officer, and Megan Zephier, WCS high school art teacher.
