Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the Los Angeles County Jail patch?

The patch is a rounded olive green shield with a gold border. LOS ANGELES COUNTY arches across the top and JAIL sits at the bottom, both in gold. At the center is a gold six-point sheriff star with the California grizzly bear.

Why does the patch have a six-point star and a bear?

The six-point star is the traditional sheriff star, and the California grizzly bear is the state symbol. Together they form the insignia of Los Angeles County Sheriff custody operations, which run the county jail system.

Is the Los Angeles County Jail run by the sheriff?

Yes. The Los Angeles County Sheriff Department operates the county jail and custody facilities, which is why the patch carries the sheriff star and bear emblem alongside the JAIL wording.

Can you make a custom shield patch like this for our agency?

Yes. A rounded shield with a central star emblem and arched lettering is a flexible template. Our artwork team can swap the star, emblem, name, colors, and border to match your department, with a free proof before production.

How much does a patch like this cost, and what is the minimum order?

Estimated pricing runs from about $17 each at 10 units down to roughly $2 each at 1,000 units, with no setup or mold fee. The minimum order starts as low as 10 pieces, so smaller runs for specialty units are welcome.

Do I need credentials to order a patch with the Los Angeles County Jail name on it?

Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Los Angeles County Jail are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Corrections, law-enforcement, and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or renamed designs are welcome without that step.
