Isn't there a TV show called "Sector 7?" If so, I think that's where its from (I remember a TV show with "Sector" in the title on the Sci-Fi Channel).

In regards to the Series 6 LAPD Badge, what was the reasoning behind the ending of Entenmann-Rovin being the supplier of the badges?
I'm guessing it is similar to my department. Low Bid. LAPD has, to my knowledge, over the years had their shields (series 5 and 6) made by:
- L.A. Stamp and Stationary
- LARSCO
- Sun
- Entenmann-Rovin
- Blackington
and others.
When a city / county contract expires, it is usually put out again as an RFP (Request For Proposal) and then an RFB (Request For Bid) and the purchasing department awards the bid. Interestingly, even though the specs are supposedly identical, the actual produced badges are different enough that they can be used as evidence. One cop was dissing LAPD on videos with his face covered and a piece of tape over the badge number. They were able to forensically determine which company made the badge (from the film) and narrow down the personnel issued that "run" of badges. Further investigation narrowed down the possible culprits and eventually the offending cop was caught and disciplined.
Here's some stuff from my screen used LA prop stash:
I ended up with most / alot of the studio props from that era of cop shows inc. Police Story, MacGruder and Loud, Joe Forrester, Rookies, SWAT, Rockford, TJH, McClain's Law, Police Woman, Quincy, etc. Some of the props were interchanged, others were proprietary. I can look for TJH's actual badge but the one shown here is the same except for the #.
In this photo you can see TJH patches inc. a screen used one and a mail-order/convention reproduction. The screen used "LSPD" patch and shield are from MacGruder and Loud. I acquired these decades ago.

I never knew about Blackinton making badges for the LAPD. I know that I'm trying to determine whether LA Stamp or Entemann-Rovin made the famous Sergeant 714 badge seen in the Dragnet/Dragnet 1967 titles. Those 1960's LAPD shields were a thing of beauty. Since this is the 70th Anniversary of the world famous Series 6 badge, you'd think either E-R or Sun would make a commemorative badge.
