Description
The Corpus Christi Police Department serves Corpus Christi, the seat of Nueces County on the Gulf coast of South Texas. This badge carries the city seal at its center and dates the community to its incorporation in 1852.
Shape & Base: An antiqued silver shield forms the body of the badge, its outer edge wrapped in a rope-twist border that runs the full perimeter. A spread-winged eagle with engraved feather detail sits at the crest, a small silver tab centers the bottom point, and a radiating sunburst fans across the field behind the seal.
Center: A circular medallion sits at the heart of the shield. A dark blue enamel ring band carries raised silver lettering reading CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS around the top and sides. Inside the ring, a light blue enamel field holds a silver skyline: an oil derrick at left, a cluster of tall buildings at center right, a wide low structure beside them, and a stylized marlin leaping across the base. Small silver lettering at the foot of the disc reads INCORPORATED above 1852.
Banner Lettering: Silver scroll ribbons stack above and below the seal, each carrying raised blue lettering. The top ribbon reads POLICE OFFICER with folded ends, a narrower ribbon below it reads CORPUS CHRISTI, a wide scroll beneath the seal reads POLICE in large letters, and a flat rectangular panel at the base reads TEXAS.
Enamel Detail: Two blue tones carry the seal. Dark blue enamel fills the ring band behind the city lettering, and a lighter blue fills the recessed field the skyline stands against, so the derrick, the buildings, and the marlin read as raised silver rather than as painted shapes. The same dark blue fills every banner letter, tying the text zones to the ring.
Finish Quality: The antiqued silver darkens the recesses and leaves the raised surfaces bright, which gives the rope border, the eagle feathers, and the sunburst rays definition without any second plating tone. The seal is struck fine enough to hold the derrick lattice and the marlin fins at badge scale. For another municipal police badge with a full-color center seal, see the Laguna Beach Police Officer 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 Corpus Christi Police design?
Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for police departments nationwide. This eagle-topped shield style can be ordered as shown, or the seal, banner text, and state panel can be replaced with your own department details. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.
Can you reproduce a city skyline seal like the one on this badge?
Yes. The seal here holds an oil derrick, a building cluster, and a leaping marlin as raised silver against a recessed enamel field. We can reproduce your own city seal the same way from artwork you supply or from a clean photograph of an existing badge, and we will show the struck detail on your proof.
Can you finish a badge in antique silver instead of a bright polish?
Yes. The antique finish on this badge darkens the recesses and leaves the raised surfaces bright, which is what gives the rope border and the eagle feathers their definition. We can apply an antique, satin, or high-polish finish in silver or gold, and we will show 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 badge with a rope border, four lettering zones, and a two-tone enamel seal 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. The antique finish and the struck seal detail on a badge like this place it at the detailed end of the range. Final pricing is confirmed with a free quote.
Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Corpus Christi Police name on it?
Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Corpus Christi Police Department — are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives, and require proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter. If you change the seal and department name to your own, no credentials are needed.
