The Broward County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wright told the Miami New Times that the patch was not authorized by the department.
“The patch is not authorized by BSO,” she said. “This matter will be addressed immediately.”
The officer was identified by the name Sgt. M. Patten on his uniform.
Patten has reportedly been cited for “excellence” in “anti-terrorism, training, and civic education” in the past.
Mike Pence’s staff did not respond to a request for comment.
