Comments: Commonwealth Of Australia Peace Officer Guard badge.
A Peace Officer Guard (POG) was established in 1925 and by the 1940s consisted of several hundred uniformed officers who primarily provided physical security at critical government locations across the nation. For administrative reasons the head of the Commonwealth Investigation Service (CIS) was automatically Superintending Peace Officer in charge of the POG. Other senior CIS officers also occupied senior POG positions in an ex-officio capacity.
