WPD Patch Requests

We cannot provide our department patches to collectors or others that request same. It is impossible to accommodate these requests, especially lately as they have been coming in more frequently.

Please make no such requests to any division of our department. The channels these requests have been coming through are meant for providing public information and assistance.

Your consideration is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
