The 1985 Pin Collector's Guide tells how it started. Pin collecting spread among employees of the government agencies several years before opening day, as sponsor and supplier pins began to circulate. Months of planning meetings among the agencies made the perfect setting for trading, and the headquarters of the Integrated Planning Group became, in the guide's words, \"a honeycomb network of 'pin intelligence.'\" The first government pin is believed to be the Los Angeles Police Department's Olympic Games Planning Group \"Torch\" pin.

Some were slight changes to existing pins and others were new designs, and many kept coming well after the closing ceremonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublic Works was one of those agencies. The 1985 Pin Collector's Guide pictures round Public Works pins on page 78 that share this pin's \"LA\" skyline logo and \"PUBLIC WORKS\" lettering, but none of them has the Olympic torch, and their outer rings read \"City of the 84 Games.\" This torch design, with its ring reading \"City of the XXIIIrd Olympiad,\" isn't pictured in the guide at all, so it's a variation the guide doesn't record. The back is stamped \"HAL MFG LA CA\" for HAL Mfg, a Los Angeles-area maker of police and fire department pins. HAL Manufacturing was one of the three makers the 1985 guide names in its source key (letter B), alongside Ooh La La! and Designs by Margarita.

On page 76, the guide lists them among the government pins: the FBI, the California Highway Patrol, this Coast Guard Intelligence pin, the California National Guard, the U.S. Marshal's Service, the Secret Service, Interpol, and the C.I.A. The Coast Guard's job was the water. A review of the Coast Guard's year in the May 1985 issue of the U.S. Naval Institute's Proceedings reports that a task force of more than 700 Coast Guard regulars, reservists, and auxiliarists was on duty during the Los Angeles Games. At the height of the Games, the task force used the icebreaker Polar Star, three HH-52 helicopters, and 109 small vessels. From July 28 to August 12, during the Olympic yachting events at Long Beach, it ran port safety and security patrols and coordinated spectator boat control in the racing area. The review notes that part of the mission was preventing potential terrorist activity. Yachting World's account of the regatta describes a fleet of about 100 Coast Guard vessels standing by around the Olympic courses in case anyone strayed in and interfered with the racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guide lists this pin as G104, made by Ooh La La!
