Howdy, folks! I’m the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Officers Association Gold Plated Coin, but you can call me “TLETOA” for short—because even coins need nicknames! I’m not just any old piece of metal; I’m a badge of honor, a symbol of excellence, and a shiny reminder that training never stops! ✨
Let’s start with my looks because, let’s face it, I’m a stunner. My 1.57” x 0.12” frame is wrapped in luxurious gold plating that makes me sparkle like the Tennessee sunshine. On one side, I proudly display the TLETOA emblem in glorious detail. We’re talking shields, swords, helmets, and even the state of Tennessee itself—because nothing says “We mean business” like a full arsenal of symbols! ⚔️️
Now, flip me over, and you’ll be greeted by an angelic warrior holding a sword against the backdrop of the Thin Blue Line flag. Talk about guardian vibes! With Isaiah 54:17 engraved beneath, I’m basically saying, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper”—a little divine protection never hurt anyone, right?
I may be small, but I’m packed with pride and purpose. I’m perfect for pocket carrying, display on your desk, or as the crown jewel of your challenge coin collection. I’m built tough with hard enamel, so you know I can handle the rigors of any situation—just like the officers I represent.
So, whether you’re a seasoned officer, a trainee, or just a fan of law enforcement memorabilia, I’m here to remind you that excellence is always in style. Carry me with pride, display me with honor, or gift me to someone who’s earned their stripes. Just remember, with me by your side, you’re never alone on the journey to greatness! ♂️
Let’s go out there and keep Tennessee safe—one coin at a time!
