Elvis Presley's Collection

By: Theresea Hughes

Elvis had his own private collectibles; they were police badges and guns. President Nixon presented Elvis with a Federal Narcotics badge; Elvis had always been a keen collector of the law enforcement badges.


Elvis took a great interest in the law; he would go out of his way to make friends with police officials at almost every town he was to travel.


Elvis Presley's most valued possession in his collection before receiving the Federal Narcotics Bureau badge from President Nixon was the Police Lieutenants Identification Shield from the Los Angeles police department.


Elvis also was a collector of guns. He was a member of the Memphis Police Department, where he qualified on the pistol range, just the same as any other law enforcement officer.


Most of the guys that worked for Elvis would become special deputies, because of the level involved in the security work required to protect Elvis.
The guys involved all qualified on the firing rang, allowing them to carry weapons.


Elvis took a great interest in being involved in helping police with many youth programs. Becoming especially close to the youth programs in Denver, Philadelphia and Los Angles.


The Kings generous contributions with the youth programs were in Memphis. For years he gave on going support and involvement in the work with the Police Sheriffs Departments.
