About PC News

​

PC News is the law enforcement collector and historian newspaper. Mike R. Bondarenko, a retired law enforcement officer and veteran police insignia hobbyist and historian, has published the newspaper since 1982.

​

PC News lists upcoming law enforcement collectible shows in the “Swap Meet Calendar." We also report on shows across the country. We feature new and interesting badges and emblems, interesting stories on police and sheriff museums and historic sites as well as historically significant collections and collectors. We keep you up to date on the latest hobby developments. And, much like other newspapers, we also include obituaries and tributes. 

 

Each issue also includes the California Police Historian -- the official publication of the California Law Enforcement Historical Society. This newsletter is included at no extra charge. It's an absolute must for California collectors and police historians!

 

PC News has advertisements offering collectibles for sale or trade and insignia show dates, locations and registration information. Our advertising rates are very reasonable. Remember, we are published by cops for cops. We are a not-for-profit publication and keep our subscription and advertising prices affordable.

 

PC News is published bimonthly with six editions a year. Each issue is 36 to 40 full-size pages. Many readers save each edition for future reference.
