Shape & Base: Tall oval shape on heavy black twill fabric with a bright gold merrowed border edge. The oval silhouette provides a broad center field for the multi-element flag panel and seal design, with the black base creating strong contrast for the gold lettering above and below.

Top Section: “BOWLING” arches on the first line and “GREEN” on the second line in large bold gold embroidered block lettering across the upper field, both curving gently against the black twill with strong contrast and generous character spacing — the two-line stacked treatment giving the city name prominent visual weight at the top of the patch.

Center: A horizontal oval flag panel fills the center field, divided into three horizontal bands — a royal blue upper band, a white center band, and a red lower band — creating a patriotic tricolor composition. Four white five-pointed stars are positioned two on each side of the center seal within the blue band. At the center of the flag panel sits a circular city seal in green and gold — a round green field with “FOUNDED 1797” arched in gold text along the upper ring and a gold fountain or tree emblem at center, referencing Bowling Green’s historic founding. A dark scroll banner crosses the lower portion of the flag panel with “SERVICE · INTEGRITY · RESPECT” embroidered in gold lettering — the department’s three core values presented as a unified motto across the full width of the center design.

Bottom Section: “POLICE” is embroidered in large bold gold block lettering centered in the lower field beneath the flag panel, matching the weight and treatment of the upper city name text and completing the department identification with strong symmetry across the full patch face.

Embroidery Quality: The black oval base with gold lettering and full-color patriotic flag panel creates a bold, high-contrast composition with excellent visual hierarchy — city name at top, flag panel at center, department title at bottom. The tricolor flag bands are cleanly separated with consistent thread fill. The Founded 1797 city seal achieves good detail at small scale with clean green and gold color separation. The motto scroll banner text is legible and well-spaced. The gold merrowed border provides a clean, durable oval edge finish suited for active police uniform wear.
