Description
This shield police embroidered patch features a subdued tactical design emphasizing core law enforcement values, designed for the City of Altoona Police Department—serving the growing Polk County community in the Des Moines metropolitan area, home to Adventureland amusement park and Prairie Meadows casino.
Shape & Base: Classic shield/tombstone shape approximately 4.5″ tall with rounded shoulders and pointed bottom, featuring a brown/olive twill base with matching brown merrowed border edge that creates a subdued, tactical appearance.
Top Section: “POLICE DEPARTMENT” spans across the upper portion in bold white/silver block lettering stacked on two lines, establishing clear departmental identification against the brown background.
Center: A gray inner shield dominates the center, displaying the department’s core values and symbolic imagery. At the top, balanced scales or ceremonial elements represent justice and fairness. An open book at the center symbolizes law, knowledge, and the constitution that guides law enforcement service. The words “HONOR” and “TRUTH” flank the upper portion of the inner shield, while “LOYALTY” and “IOWA” appear below—expressing the fundamental values that define this department’s commitment to the community.
Bottom Section: “CITY OF” curves along the lower left and “ALTOONA” curves along the lower right in white/silver block lettering, completing the municipal identification as the shield tapers to its point.
Embroidery Quality: The patch demonstrates excellent stitch density with clean contrast between the brown base and gray/white accent elements. The inner shield features detailed symbolic imagery with careful lettering of the department’s values. The subdued monochromatic color scheme provides a professional tactical appearance, and the brown merrowed border ensures durability for daily patrol wear.
