During this scene, Freddie tells James about his glove. At this point, we are offered a good look at his security badge. It was fairly easy to identify after searching “Security Enforcement Officer Badge.”

Now if I could only get my hands on a Great Northern Hotel Security patch. It’s a beauty! The patch incorporates a detail from a mural in Ben Horne’s office best seen in Episode 2020 from Season 2 (top image). It was recreated for his office in Twin Peaks: The Return on Showtime (bottom image).
