Trade Show!

The 2025 show marked the beginning of a new era for public safety collecting events in Palm Beach County. While 2025 was the first year of our current show, it was not the first public safety collectors event ever hosted in Palm Beach County. More than 30 years ago, collectors and public safety professionals gathered locally to share their passion for badges, patches, challenge coins, historical memorabilia, and the preservation of public safety history. Those early shows helped build friendships and connections throughout the collecting community and inspired many collectors who continue to enjoy the hobby today.

Our goal is to continue that tradition while also helping introduce the hobby to a new generation of collectors and public safety enthusiasts.

The Palm Beach County Public Safety Collectors’ Trade Show is hosted by Paul Goldstein, Sam Goldstein, and Stuart Roth. All three hosts come from public safety backgrounds and share a strong passion for preserving the history, traditions, and memorabilia associated with law enforcement, fire rescue, EMS, corrections, and other public safety agencies. Collecting is more than just a hobby to us. It is a way to preserve the stories, service, and heritage behind the men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving their communities.

Over the years, public safety memorabilia has become an important part of documenting history. Badges, patches, challenge coins, insignia, photographs, and related collectibles often represent major events, specialized units, historical changes, and personal stories connected to agencies across the country. Many items hold deep meaning and honor the traditions of those who served before us. Through this show, we hope to help preserve those memories and provide a place where collectors and public safety professionals can come together to share knowledge, stories, and appreciation for the hobby.

Our vision for this event is to create a professional, welcoming, and enjoyable environment for everyone attending. Whether you are an active or retired law enforcement officer, firefighter, paramedic, corrections officer, military member, long time collector, or someone simply interested in public safety history, we hope this show provides an opportunity to meet others who share the same interests and appreciation for the collecting community.

The success of our first 2025 show would not have been possible without the tremendous support from vendors, collectors, attendees, agencies, friends, and supporters throughout the public safety community. We truly appreciate everyone who attended, shared the event, purchased tables, displayed collections, and helped spread the word. Seeing collectors and public safety professionals come together under one roof reminded us why these events are so important and why we are excited to continue building this show into something even greater in the years ahead.

As we continue to grow, our hope is to expand the event, welcome additional collectors and exhibitors from across the country, and continue preserving the rich history and traditions of public safety collecting. We encourage everyone to continue checking this website for future announcements, upcoming show information, event updates, vendor opportunities, and additional details about future collector events in Palm Beach County.

Thank you for visiting our website and for supporting the Palm Beach County Public Safety Collectors’ Trade Show. Most importantly, thank you for helping preserve the history, tradition, and pride of the public safety collecting hobby for future generations.
