Description
This embroidered patch features the Rutgers University Police insignia on a blue field cut to a pointed shield shape, located at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, with a gold merrow border framing the design.
Center: A circular seal sits at the heart of the patch. A black ring reads NEW BRUNSWICK across the top and NEWARK and CAMDEN across the bottom, naming the three Rutgers campuses, with small red stars between them.
Seal Detail: Inside the ring is a red silhouette of the state of New Jersey with three gold stars marking the campus locations, and the founding year 1766 split as 17 and 66 on either side of the state shape.
Top Section: RUTGERS arches large across the top of the shield in bold gold block lettering, the most prominent word on the patch.
Bottom Section: POLICE spans the lower portion in large gold block letters, with NJ set beneath it in gold, marking the state.
Shape & Base: The pointed shield is worked in full-coverage blue twill, with a bright gold merrow edge that frames the red-and-black seal in strong contrast.
Embroidery Quality: Produced in full-coverage embroidery on polyester twill, it holds the fine detail of the state silhouette, the campus names, the stars, and the lettering cleanly. Order it as shown for the Rutgers University Police, or customize the colors, lettering, border, and seal 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 Rutgers University Police patch?
It is a blue pointed shield with a gold border. RUTGERS arches across the top and POLICE NJ sits at the bottom, both in gold. The center carries a seal with a red New Jersey state silhouette, the three campus names New Brunswick, Newark, and Camden, and the 1766 founding date.
What are the three cities on the seal?
New Brunswick, Newark, and Camden are the three campuses of Rutgers University across New Jersey. They are named around the seal ring, with three gold stars on the state silhouette marking their locations.
What does the date 1766 stand for?
1766 is the founding year of Rutgers University, one of the oldest universities in the United States. It is split as 17 and 66 on either side of the New Jersey state shape at the center of the patch.
Can you make a custom campus police shield patch like this for our department?
Yes. A pointed shield with a state-shaped seal, campus names, and arched lettering 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 a specialty unit are welcome.
Do I need credentials to order a patch with the Rutgers University Police name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Rutgers University 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.
