New York State Correctional Services Patch with Excelsior State Coat of Arms
Black peaked shoulder patch for the New York State Department of Correctional Services, featuring the full New York State coat of arms with Liberty and Justice, the Excelsior banner, and gold New York State lettering.
Description
This embroidered patch features the New York State Correctional Services insignia, the statewide agency responsible for New York’s correctional facilities. The design is built around the full New York State coat of arms rendered in fine embroidered detail on a black field.
Center: The dominant element is the New York State coat of arms. A central shield depicts a golden sunrise over the Hudson River, with two sailing vessels on the water and a mountain range behind — the classic New York emblem of a rising commercial future. The shield is flanked by two supporter figures: Liberty on the left in a blue and red robe, holding a staff topped with a Phrygian cap, and Justice on the right in gold, blindfolded and holding the scales and sword. Above the shield rises a globe crowned by an American bald eagle.
Top Section: The words NEW YORK STATE arch across the top in bold gold embroidered lettering, following the curved upper edge of the patch.
Bottom Section: Beneath the coat of arms, a scroll banner carries the New York State motto EXCELSIOR — Latin for “ever upward.” Below the banner, CORRECTIONAL SERVICES is stacked in two lines of gold block lettering.
Shape & Base: The patch is a black domed shoulder-patch shape with a clean merrowed border, sized for uniform sleeve placement. The black ground makes the polychrome state seal — blue, red, gold, green, and white — stand out sharply.
Embroidery Quality: Full-coverage stitching renders the fine detail of the coat of arms, including the facial features of the supporter figures and the lettering of the Excelsior banner, with crisp gold borders throughout.
Agencies looking for a comparable state or federal corrections design can review the Federal Bureau of Prisons patch, the California Department of Corrections patch, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice patch for additional statewide insignia treatments.

🛡 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.

Does the patch include the full New York State coat of arms with the Excelsior banner?

Can you change the colors, text, or seal on this corrections patch?
Yes. This design is a starting point. Our artwork team can swap the state seal for another state, adjust the lettering to your department name, and change the colors, border, shape, and size. You receive a free proof before any production begins.
What is the minimum order for a corrections patch like this?
There is a low minimum, with quantity-break pricing that starts as low as 10 pieces. Smaller runs work well for specialty units or academy classes, and per-piece pricing drops sharply at 100, 250, 500, and 1,000 units.
How much does a custom embroidered corrections patch cost?
Estimated pricing ranges from about $17 each at 10 units down to roughly $2 each at 1,000 units, with no setup fee and no mold fee. Detailed seals like the New York coat of arms are fully covered at that pricing. Final cost is confirmed with a free quote based on size and quantity.
Do I need credentials to order a patch with the New York State Correctional Services name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Corrections and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production. Custom designs, and designs renamed to your own facility, are welcome without that step.
