Fabric badge for the Auxiliary OPP detachment, attached to the Walter Reeves badge collection. The Auxiliary OPP Force came into practice in 1960, after Walter had died, so it could have been acquired as a memento to his work.

The new local police set-up is expected to go into effect January 1st, or as soon as convenient living quarters can be secured. The detachment will consist of five men, all of whom will reside in and work from Bradford.
