The badge, featuring a detailed engraving of the lighthouse that has been standing for over 100 years, symbolizes the department&#8217;s commitment to vigilance and community service. Chief Justin Macko explains,<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Since assuming the role of Chief of Police in 2021, one of my key objectives was to reimagine and revitalize our department&#8217;s badge, insignias, and patch. Sea Girt is privileged to be home to the Sea Girt Lighthouse, a historic and iconic structure among the eleven lighthouses in New Jersey. Previously, our badge featured a standard eagle-topped shield, a design commonly seen among various agencies in our region.
