Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the New Jersey Transit Police patch?

It is a navy pointed shield with a gold border. POLICE arches across the top, with NEW JERSEY and TRANSIT up the sides, all in gold. The center is a red shield carrying the New Jersey state coat of arms, with the LIBERTY AND PROSPERITY motto and the dates 1776 and 1983.

What is the coat of arms in the middle?

It is the New Jersey state coat of arms: a shield with three plows, a horse head crest, and two figures, Liberty and Ceres, the goddess of agriculture. New Jersey Transit Police use it because they are a New Jersey state transit agency.

What do the dates 1776 and 1983 mean?

1776 appears with the LIBERTY AND PROSPERITY motto on the state coat of arms, and 1983 is the founding year of New Jersey Transit. Both are embroidered into the seal at the center of the patch.

Can you make a custom transit or public safety patch like this for our agency?

Yes. A shield with a state coat of arms and arched lettering is a flexible template. Our artwork team can swap the seal, agency 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 a specialty unit are welcome.

Do I need credentials to order a patch with the New Jersey Transit Police name on it?

Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the New Jersey Transit Police are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. 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.
