Description
The United States Probation and Pretrial Services System operates within the federal judiciary, with probation officers serving the 94 US District Courts across the country. This badge marks the 75th anniversary of the system, carrying the dates 1940 and 2015 across its face.
Shape & Base: A silver shield with scalloped, scrolled edges forms the body of the badge, topped by a spread-winged eagle struck with individual feather detail. Scroll-and-leaf flourishes trail down the lower sides of the shield, and a fluted silver tab centers the bottom point.
Center: A polished gold circular medallion sits on a gold eagle-and-star mount at the heart of the shield. The gold ring band carries raised silver lettering reading UNITED STATES COURTS across the top and PROBATION OFFICER across the bottom, separated by small silver stars. Inside the ring is a gold Great Seal eagle with shield, olive branch, and arrows, and a small gold plaque below reads USPO in raised silver letters.
Banner Lettering: A silver ribbon banner arcs across the upper wing with raised blue lettering reading 75 YEARS, and large raised blue block letters below the eagle read US. A silver scroll ribbon with notched, folded ends carries UNITED STATES PROBATION above the medallion, and a matching scroll ribbon across the bottom reads UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. Large silver numerals flank the medallion, 1940 at left and 2015 at right, struck flush into the shield face.
Tonal Detail: The badge is two-tone rather than enameled in color. Brushed and polished silver carries the shield, eagle, banners, and anniversary numerals, while polished gold sets the center medallion and its mount apart. Blue enamel fills only the raised banner lettering, holding the text sharp against the silver scrolls.
Finish Quality: The contrast between brushed and polished silver gives the shield depth without color, and the gold medallion reads as a distinct element rather than a plated highlight. Every lettering zone is raised metal, and the Great Seal eagle is struck fine enough to hold the shield stripes and olive branch cleanly at badge scale. For another two-tone badge with a full-color center seal, see the Town of Palm Beach Police badge.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Badges 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 badges 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
Can I order a custom metal badge like the US Probation design?
Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for agencies and organizations nationwide. This eagle-topped shield style can be ordered as shown, or the seal, banner text, and dates can be replaced with your own agency details. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.
Can you make an anniversary badge with commemorative dates like the 1940-2015 numerals?
Yes. Anniversary badges are a common request. The flanking date numerals, the 75 YEARS ribbon, and the milestone framing on this badge can all be adapted to your own founding year and anniversary. We can strike the dates flush into the shield face as shown, or raise them for more contrast.
Can you reproduce a two-tone silver and gold finish like this badge?
Yes. This badge uses brushed and polished silver across the shield, eagle, and banners with polished gold isolated to the center medallion and its mount. We can plate any zone of your design in silver, gold, or a two-tone split, and we will show you the finish on a free proof before tooling.
How long does production take for a badge like this?
Custom metal badges take approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering tooling, striking, plating, and finishing. A two-tone badge with a separate center medallion and this much struck detail sits toward the longer end of that window. Your design is confirmed on a free proof before any tooling is cut.
How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?
Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at single quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. Two-tone plating and a separately mounted seal add detail that sits at the higher end of the range. Final pricing is confirmed with a free quote.
Do I need credentials to order a badge with the United States Probation name on it?
Yes. This is a federal law enforcement badge. Metal badges bearing the United States Probation, United States Courts, or United States District Court name are sold only to those agencies or their authorized representatives, and require proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter. Reproductions are not sold to the general public. If you are designing a badge for your own agency with your own seal and department name, no credentials are needed.
