Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the Dallas Police Department patch?

The patch is a half-dome black shield with a black border. DALLAS POLICE arches across the top in gold and DEPARTMENT runs across the bottom in bold gold letters. At the center is a gold five-point star set inside an open red ring. Owl Badges reproduces it as an embroidered shoulder patch.

What does the gold star in a red ring mean on the Dallas Police patch?

The five-point star is a Lone Star motif long associated with Texas, embroidered in gold and framed by a red circle at the heart of the patch. It is the visual centerpiece of the design and ties the Dallas Police Department patch to its Texas identity.

Why is the Dallas Police patch black and gold instead of blue?

This design uses a solid black field with gold lettering and a gold star, a high-contrast scheme that reads sharply on a uniform sleeve. The all-black base makes the gold name and star and the red ring stand out, giving it a clean, classic look distinct from the blue shield patches of many other departments.

Can you build a custom half-dome patch in this black-and-gold style for my own department?

Yes. A half-dome patch with an arched agency name, a central star or emblem, and a bold lower wordmark is a flexible layout, and we can adapt it for your own agency - your city name in the arch, your own star or emblem in the center, and your department word below. A free proof is provided before production so you can confirm every detail.

What size is the Dallas Police Department shoulder patch?

Shoulder patches like this are typically made in the 4 to 5 inch range so the arched name, the lower wordmark, and the central star stay legible on a uniform sleeve. We confirm the proportions at your chosen size on the free proof so the star, ring, and lettering stay crisp.

Do I need credentials to order a patch with the Dallas Police Department name on it?

Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Dallas Police Department are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or fictional department designs, and patches renamed to your own department, are welcome without that step.
