Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the Chicago Transit Authority Police patch?

It is a white octagon with a maroon border. CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY arches across the top and POLICE spans the bottom, both in maroon. The center carries the CTA oval logo with its trailing speed lines.

What is the CTA logo on the patch?

It is the long-standing emblem of the Chicago Transit Authority: a maroon oval with the lowercase cta lettering and a set of speed lines trailing to the left. It marks the patch as belonging to the CTA Police.

What does CTA stand for?

CTA is the Chicago Transit Authority, the agency that runs the bus and L rail system in Chicago. The CTA Police are its dedicated transit law-enforcement unit, named across the bottom of the patch.

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

Yes. An octagon with a central logo and arched lettering is a flexible template. We can swap the logo, agency name, colors, and border to fit 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.

Do I need credentials to order a patch with the CTA Police name on it?

Yes. Patches with a real agency name such as the CTA Police are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation or an authorized purchasing letter first. Custom or renamed designs are welcome without that step.
