(Astoria, Oregon) – If you're thinking a large-scale celebration throughout various north Oregon coast towns isn't enough to whoop it up over a famed movie filmed in town, it turns out even Astoria's police department is getting in on the act. The movie Goonies is moving into its 40th year of existence, and officers in town are offering their own way to mark the anniversary.

There is now a commemorative patch available to fans sporting clear nods to the film. The police patch reads “Protecting the Docks Since 1985” and has a pirate ship. Yet the most interesting detail are the tiny figures to the right which represent the main cast of Goonies, with the taller, wacky-shaped head of Sloth in the middle.

Astoria Police Department officers are putting these on their uniforms – almost wearing their Astorian hearts on their sleeves, in a sense.

“Love it or hate it, there’s no denying the lasting impact the movie has had on the City of Astoria,” the department said on social. “This milestone is a chance to celebrate that legacy - and to connect with the amazing fans who travel from around the world to visit the place where it all began.”

The patches are available at the Clatsop County Historical Society, the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce, the Astoria Coffee Company and the gift shop at the Oregon Film Museum.

A portion of the proceeds from these sales goes to the Astoria Police Department Community Policing Fund.

The 40th anniversary festival in honor of the film happens June 5 - 8 in Astoria and a bit in Cannon Beach. The Goonies Weekend 40th Anniversary promises to be the rager of the Oregon coast, with tours of the Goonies house available for the first time in history.

You'll also be able to take part in interactive / immersive experiences that put you inside the movie, as well as dances, treasure hunts, exhibits and a whole host of Goonie-oriented goodies.

There have been some reports that a sequel to Goonies is in the works, but no firm word yet. Goonies Sequel Being Developed as Oregon Coast / Astoria Fans Prepare 40th Anniversary
