There are records of Elvis actually using his federal narcotics badge. A man he had with him once stole some of Elvis's jewelry and then had got on a plane to leave. Elvis actually ran down the plane and pulled it over and removed the man from the plane then took him back to his house, interrogated him about the jewelry, got his jewelry back, then gave the guy $200 and bought him another plane ticket. To my knowledge that's the only confirmed use of the federal narcotics badge that Elvis received from Nixon.

He loved collecting badges, but that was always his favorite, as he thought it'd protect him against gun or drug charges. He died with it on his person, and it's now in a display at Graceland. I can't find any evidence of him actually using it, though he did show it to audiences at his concerts.
