Description
This embroidered patch features the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department insignia, the shoulder patch of the department serving Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee. It is a round design on a light-blue ground, finished with a gold merrowed border, with a navy sunburst ring and a lettered center disc.
Center: The dominant element is a navy center disc carrying stacked gold lettering – METRO at the top, POLICE in large letters across the middle, NASHVILLE below, and DAVIDSON COUNTY curved across the bottom. A gold fleur-de-lis sits at the top of the disc as the city emblem, all worked in gold against the navy ground.
Sunburst Ring: A ring of navy triangular rays radiates inward from a light-blue band, forming a sunburst that frames the center disc and gives the patch its distinctive round, radiant look.
Lettering: NASHVILLE and DAVIDSON COUNTY name the consolidated Metro government the department serves, lettered in gold and reading clearly around the lower center disc.
Shape & Base: The patch is round rather than a shield – a light-blue ground edged with a gold merrowed border for a clean, uniform-ready circle. The light-blue ring and navy sunburst set off the gold lettering and fleur-de-lis at the center.
Embroidery Quality: Full-coverage stitching with high stitch density holds the fine detail of the sunburst rays, the fleur-de-lis, the curved DAVIDSON COUNTY lettering, and the stacked gold center text with sharp, even edges and a durable surface that stands up to daily uniform wear and laundering.
This is one of a series of police department patches in the gallery. Compare it with other designs, the Memphis Police Department patch, the Columbus Police Department patch, and the Phoenix Police Department patch.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Patches bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers must provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. We do not sell agency-named patches for personal use.
Custom and fictional designs — for example, a made-up department like “Town of Western Hope Police” — are welcome, as are designs where you change the agency or department name to your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is shown on the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department patch?
The patch is round, with a light-blue ground and a gold border. A ring of navy sunburst rays surrounds a navy center disc that reads METRO at the top, POLICE in large letters, NASHVILLE below, and DAVIDSON COUNTY curved across the bottom, all in gold. A gold fleur-de-lis sits at the top of the disc. Owl Badges reproduces it as an embroidered shoulder patch.
Why does the Nashville Police patch say DAVIDSON COUNTY?
Nashville and Davidson County share a consolidated Metropolitan government, so the department is the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department. The patch letters both NASHVILLE and DAVIDSON COUNTY to name the full jurisdiction it serves, and we reproduce that lettering exactly as it appears.
What is the fleur-de-lis on the Nashville Police patch?
A gold fleur-de-lis sits at the top of the navy center disc. It is a heraldic emblem long associated with the city, and on this patch it crowns the lettering as a distinctive city symbol. We stitch it in gold to match the rest of the central design.
Is this a round patch, and can you make a custom one in this style?
Yes, this is a round patch rather than a shield - a sunburst ring around a lettered center disc with an emblem on top. It is a strong, symmetrical layout, and we can adapt it for your own agency, swapping in your wording, emblem, and colors. A free proof is provided before production so you can confirm every detail.
What size is the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department patch?
Round patches like this are typically made in the 4 to 5 inch range so the sunburst rays, the fleur-de-lis, and the stacked METRO POLICE NASHVILLE DAVIDSON COUNTY lettering stay legible on a uniform sleeve. Because the lettering and rays carry fine detail, we confirm the proportions at your chosen size on the free proof so everything stays crisp.
Do I need credentials to order a patch with the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Metropolitan Nashville 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.
