Description
This embroidered patch features the University of Maryland Police insignia on a black field, located at the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland, with a gold merrow border framing the arched design.
Center: The Maryland state coat of arms sits at the heart of the patch. The quartered shield combines the black-and-gold Calvert heraldry, a diagonal checkered pattern, with the red-and-white Crossland arms and their botonee crosses, the same design as the Maryland flag.
Top Section: UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND arches across the top of the patch in three lines of gold block lettering that follow the arched border.
Bottom Section: POLICE spans the lower portion in large gold block letters, with COLLEGE PARK set beneath it in smaller gold lettering, naming the campus.
Shape & Base: The patch is an arched tombstone cut in full-coverage black twill, with a bright gold merrow edge that frames the colorful state shield in strong contrast.
Embroidery Quality: Produced in full-coverage embroidery on polyester twill, it holds the fine detail of the Calvert checkerwork, the Crossland crosses, and the gold lettering cleanly. Order it as shown for the University of Maryland Police, or customize the colors, lettering, border, and crest for your own campus agency.

🛡 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 Maryland Police patch?
It is a black arched patch with a gold border. UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND arches across the top and POLICE COLLEGE PARK sits at the bottom, all in gold. The center carries the Maryland state coat of arms, the quartered Calvert and Crossland shield seen on the Maryland flag.
What is the colorful shield in the middle?
It is the Maryland state coat of arms, the same heraldry that appears on the Maryland flag. It quarters the black-and-gold Calvert pattern with the red-and-white Crossland cross design, making it one of the most distinctive state emblems in the country.
Why does the patch say College Park?
College Park is the home of the University of Maryland flagship campus, just outside Washington, D.C. The patch names it beneath POLICE to identify the specific campus the department serves.
Can you make a custom campus police patch like this for our department?
Yes. An arched patch with a central state or university crest and wrapped lettering 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 Maryland Police name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the University of Maryland 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.
