FQPM Challenge Coins
Standard Edition
These 42mm challenge coins are beautifully finished in silver cupro-nickel and come in a clear protective cover. The obverse side depicts the badge of the FQPM which is based on the Queensland Police helmet badge in use from 1906 – 1960. The reverse side depicts the current Queensland Police Service badge which was introduced in 1990.
Women in Policing
These limited-edition coins are the same size and quality finish as the standard FQPM challenge coins. The obverse side depicts the badge of the FQPM which is based on the Queensland Police helmet badge in use from 1906 – 1960. The reverse side depicts a policewoman directing traffic. It recognises just one of the many roles women play in the Queensland Police Service. The image is based on a photograph of a policewoman from the 1980s.
Queensland Mounted Police
To acknowledge the contribution that horses made to policing in Queensland since 1864, a new challenge coin has been struck. Similar in size and finish as the standard FQPM challenge coins, the reverse side depicts a silver raised 3D image of a mounted constable (circa 1950) in the police paddock at Oxley near the current site of the Queensland Police Academy.

FQPM Police “Bobby” Whistles
These nickel plated replica “Bobby” whistles are engraved with “Friends of the Queensland Police Museum” and would make a great gift or a collectors item. For a limited time the “Bobby” whistles are available for $35 each plus postage.
Police “Bobby” whistles were a defining tool of British policing from the late 19th century through to the mid‑20th, and they became an instantly recognisable symbol of the Metropolitan Police “Bobby.” Made of brass or nickel‑plated metal and tuned to a piercing, far‑carrying trill, the whistle replaced the earlier rattle and allowed constables on foot patrol to summon help, signal danger, or coordinate during pursuits across London’s dense streets.
FQPM Polo Shirts
These smart looking polo shirts have the badge of the FQPM embroidered on the left breast. They are made from 65% Polyester for durability and 35% Cotton for comfort. The fabric is 210gsm pique for easy care and reduced pilling. A variety of colours are available, and they come in male and female sizes. The price of each polo shirt is $45. There is no member’s discount on polo shirts.
