Description
This embroidered patch features the University of California Police Department insignia on a blue field cut to a pointed shield shape, with a gold merrow border and a thin dark outer edge. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA arches in gold across the top and POLICE sits across the bottom. At the center is the University of California seal set on a gold seven-point peace-officer star: an open book with a radiant star above it and the motto LET THERE BE LIGHT on a banner beneath. Produced in full-coverage embroidery on polyester twill, it holds the fine detail of the seal, star, and lettering cleanly. Order it as shown for the University of California Police Department, or customize the colors, lettering, border, and seal for your own campus agency. There is no setup fee and no minimum-quantity barrier.

🛡 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 University of California Police Department patch?
The patch is a blue pointed shield with a gold border. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA arches across the top and POLICE sits across the bottom, both in gold. At the center is the University of California seal on a gold seven-point star: an open book with a radiant star above and the motto LET THERE BE LIGHT on a banner below.
What does LET THERE BE LIGHT mean on the patch?
LET THERE BE LIGHT is the official motto of the University of California, taken from the book of Genesis. It appears on the University seal beneath the open book, and the patch reproduces it on a small banner at the center of the design.
Why is the emblem set on a seven-point star?
The seven-point star is the traditional peace-officer or sheriff star used by many California law-enforcement agencies. Placing the University seal on the star marks the patch as a sworn police insignia rather than a general campus emblem.
Can you make a custom campus police shield patch like this for our department?
Yes. A pointed shield with arched lettering and a central seal on a star is a flexible template. Our artwork team can swap the seal, university name, colors, and border to match your campus 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 University of California Police Department name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the University of California Police Department are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. University police, campus safety, and law-enforcement buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or renamed designs are welcome without that step.
