Is there an official badge at Sheriff's Dept.?

Is there an "official" badge at the McHenry County Sheriff's Department?

And, if there is, should its likeness be used in all official communications and references, such as on business cards?

From another blog comes the photograph of Sheriff Keith Nygren in uniform. Note the badge on his uniform. It has five (5) points.

Compare that with the badge on the business card of Sgt. John Koziol, which shows seven (7) points on a badge that is identified as of the McHenry County Sheriff's Police.

Notice that the seven-point star has a single point at the bottom, whereas the badge worn by Sheriff Nygren has the point at the top. The badge on Sgt. Koziol's official business card from the Sheriff's Department is the same design as appears on Sheriff Nygren's political literature. The seven-point star was used on the flier for the sheriff's 13th Annual Fundraiser on September 10, 2009, and on the drawing of the arm patch (or was it a decal?) for the Sheriff Nygren 2010 Posse.

Personally, I believe that the badge of office or any likeness of it should NOT be used in political literature. The badge belongs to the Office of Sheriff, not to the officeholder or the candidate for office.

And there should be one and only one official style for business cards of deputies.
