A symbol of keeping the peace. It used to be easy getting one of these rings back in the day when Gotham was run by crooked city officials and cops. It was kind of like that opening scene from The Departed. Just make it through the “academy” and you were in. But after Batman showed up on the scene and started cleaning up the streets, the Police regained their vigor for upholding the law and got rid of the crooked influences. Now, these Gotham Police Department Class Rings are a source of great pride. No longer handed out all willy nilly, officers who earn this ring are the best of the best.
