star badge
Deputy's chest emblem
A star badge is a piece of metal identification worn by law enforcement officers, typically shaped as a five- or six-pointed star.
The design evokes the sheriff's badge of the American West, still standard in many jurisdictions: The deputy pinned on his star badge.
Star badges may also appear in children's play or costume contexts.
