Heres the best photo I can get of the badge, but i'll see if I can find a better one. From what I can see, it says "Detective", "Miami-Metro" "Police". No idea on where to buy them, sorry.

Thanks for posting, rabbit4x! I think the center seal was custom made for the show because heres an image of all 50 state seals.
but this looks similar to deb's badge (minus the seal). http://www.policecatalog.com/produc...cts_id=1575&osCsid=n5ghrjjd09fllasgbfgmrj6mv2. it costs over $90 to customize it.

Somewhat close, cheap, readily available. This is the one generally passed off as a Miami Vice badge. This site sells them for both Police Officer and Sergeant, silver and gold colors.

I'm an officer in NC but I also have my grandfathers badge from FL and it has the same medallion in the middle as Debs. FL must not use the state seal. I never realized that wasn't their seal.
I don't have a picture of his badge access able to me right this second but it looks like this:

The trouble is, Miami Metro P.D. is a fictional police department devised strictly for the novels and television series; it doesn't exist in the real world; it's closest real-world couterparts are the Miami Police Department (whose jurisdiction lies within the Miami city limits) and the Miami-Dade Police Department (whose jurisdiction lies within Dade County). As such, the badges, I.D. laminates, case file folders, etc., were custom made by the prop and art departments, so any replicase of those props would have to be custom made as well.
As for cliponbadges, I don't know about their other products but their Dexter I.D.s are pretty inaccurate compared to the screen-used props.

The badges used on the show have two different center sections (around the seal.) One has a scalloped edge and the other is a smooth round circle. Both versions appear to be from a Blackington Badge Company model B749 in a nickel finish. The center seal seems to be one widely used by replica badge companies, but I can't seem to pin down a source for just the seal or an item number.
