r/Elvis on Reddit: Elvis' Narcotics Badge and credentials
August 15, 2024 -
On December 21, 1970, Elvis Presley paid a visit to President Richard Nixon at the White House. He wanted a badge and credentials from the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD).
I looked everywhere for a while to get reasonably priced replicas. I'm very happy with what came in the mail today!
I also included a picture of Elvis and President Nixon. I'm Canadian, but I've always found it interesting that this is one of the most requested photos from the US national archives.

See, the business suit wearing double chins of the era were under the wildly mistaken impression that Elvis was still relevant to youth culture at this time. So, they figured, we can keep the kids off the marijuanas and the goofballs if they see one of their hip idols with a "don't do drugs" badge. More on reddit.com

He loved collecting badges, but that was always his favorite, as he thought it'd protect him against gun or drug charges. He died with it on his person, and it's now in a display at Graceland. I can't find any evidence of him actually using it, though he did show it to audiences at his concerts.

There are records of Elvis actually using his federal narcotics badge. A man he had with him once stole some of Elvis's jewelry and then had got on a plane to leave. Elvis actually ran down the plane and pulled it over and removed the man from the plane then took him back to his house, interrogated him about the jewelry, got his jewelry back, then gave the guy $200 and bought him another plane ticket. To my knowledge that's the only confirmed use of the federal narcotics badge that Elvis received from Nixon.
