Marco Island Police Department Trading Cards

The members of the Marco Island Police Department now have Trading Cards! 

The program's goal is to connect with school-aged children in our community. The department has 27 different trading cards, including officers, community service officers, and civilian staff.

Marco youth are invited to participate in our trading card contest, in which the goal is to collect one of every card. Each card will have a number, so participants will know which ones are needed to complete their collection. 

We understand that collecting each card may take some time, mainly since our patrol officers work rotating shifts, off duty, or in training. It is important that children only approach officers when they are not actively involved in a police call, such as a car stop, interviewing witnesses, or directing traffic. 

Children are encouraged to wave down officers to obtain a trading card, or they and their families are welcome to stop at the police station at designated times which will be announced on social media. 

Additionally, throughout the contest duration, opportunities will be made available to stop by and visit with our participating officers at some of their favorite Marco Island locations. Make sure to connect with us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!

Once all 27 cards are collected, bring your complete set to the police station. The first three participants in each age category to collect all 27 cards will receive special prizes.

The Marco Island Police Department would like to thank the Marco Police Foundation for their generous donation of $1,200.00 in prizes. Prizes include Apple AirPod Pros, Nintendo Switch Light, and many more.

The contest will run from Wednesday, August 17, 2022, through Saturday, September 17, 2022.
