Yes, the bike comes with three badges to add at your own will: Peace Officer and Firefighter for the upper portion, and Special Edition for the lower portion (the pic above in post #12). Harley will not allow you to order these at will - you will need the VIN to do so.

Ok, so I did some research. Police Special Editions the past few years only come in vivid black with a blue pin stripe running through. Earlier years the P.O.S.E.'s came in a two tone blue with blue pin striping.
Now, The Firefighter models began after 9-11, came in red with gold pin striping running through. A few years ago they began making F.F.S.E. in red with gold pin striping and vivid black with gold pin striping.
The early "Shriner" bikes were either white or a special edition purple, the past few years they can be ordered in any color but are ordered in a groups of 10 or more, and designated as a "Shiner" bike.
All three bikes are listed per the VIN as shrine bikes.
In order to purchase a P.O/F.F. bike you need to show credentials, however every dealer is different on this, some require, others do not. Same with the police/fire badge emblems.
So to the OP, your bike is a shrine bike, however it is not a F.F.S.E. bike. Go buy it if you're getting a good deal and ride the hell out of it!!

And put those little badges on the tank badge and that'll make it the FF edition.
