Close protection badge
A close protection badge is often ordered as a presentation piece, team gift or prop. At MBC, a close protection badge is a laser-engraved metal badge with CP-friendly wording — for example Close Protection Officer, CP Team or Principal Protection — on gold and agency-style designs.
Close protection officers, team organisers and gift buyers search for a close protection badge when they want a solid engraved piece rather than a printed lanyard card. Film and TV productions also order a close protection badge with clearly fictional titles.
MBC badges are identification-style products. A close protection badge does not create legal authority. Follow your employer’s policy for any on-duty use.
