Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the University of Pennsylvania Police patch?

It is a white pointed shield with a red border and blue linework. POLICE arches across the top and UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA curves up both sides, all in blue. At the center is the Penn coat of arms: three open books above a blue chevron set with three white plates.

What do the books and chevron on the crest mean?

The three open books and the chevron with three plates are the historic arms of the University of Pennsylvania. The books represent learning and the volumes of knowledge, a fitting emblem for the police department that serves the Penn campus in Philadelphia.

Is this patch for the University of Pennsylvania campus police in Philadelphia?

Yes. This is the shoulder insignia of the University of Pennsylvania Police Department, the sworn agency that serves the Penn campus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The crest is the official University coat of arms.

Can you make a custom campus police shield patch like this for our department?

Yes. A pointed shield with arched lettering and a central university crest is a flexible template. Our artwork team can swap the crest, 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 a specialty unit are welcome.

Do I need credentials to order a patch with the University of Pennsylvania Police name on it?

Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the University of Pennsylvania Police are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. University police and campus-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.
