Description
The Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office serves Washington Parish in southeastern Louisiana, on the Mississippi line, with Franklinton as the parish seat. This badge carries the Louisiana state seal at its center and a deputy number on the banner below it.
Shape & Base: A polished gold six-point star sits inside a wide gold outer ring, joined to it by a small ball at each point. The star arms carry fine engraved scrollwork over a stippled ground inside a raised border, each tip capped with a ball finial, and two small gold dots mark the ring at the left and right of its midline.
Center: A circular medallion sits at the heart of the star. A dark blue enamel disc carries raised gold lettering reading STATE OF at the top, UNION and JUSTICE around the upper arc, CONFIDENCE around the lower arc, and LOUISIANA across the bottom. At its center is a gold pelican in her piety, wings spread over a nest, feeding three chicks.
Ring Lettering: The outer ring is the badge’s main text field, carrying large raised black lettering reading WASHINGTON PARISH across the top arc and SHERIFF’S OFFICE across the bottom arc. On the star itself, a gold scroll ribbon with folded ends reads DEPUTY above the seal, a wider scroll below the seal carries the number 1314, and a small flat plaque at the bottom reads LA.
Enamel Detail: The badge holds its color in two places. Black enamel fills the ring lettering and the star banners, giving the raised gold text a hard edge against the polished ground. Dark blue enamel fills the seal disc, recessed around the raised gold pelican and lettering so the bird and the motto read as metal against color rather than as painted detail.
Finish Quality: Polished gold carries the ring, the star, the scrollwork, the banners, and every letter, with no secondary plating tone. The star-in-circle construction leaves the ring reading as a separate element from the star it holds, and the seal is struck fine enough to hold the pelican’s spread wings and the three chicks at badge scale. For another gold star badge with a full-color state seal at its center, see the Giles County Sheriff’s Office 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 Washington Parish Sheriff design?
Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for sheriff’s offices nationwide. This star-in-circle style can be ordered as shown, or the seal, the ring lettering, and the rank banner can be changed to your own parish, county, or state. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.
Can you make a star-in-circle badge instead of a plain star?
Yes. The ring and the star are struck as one piece here, joined at each point by a ball, which is what gives the badge its width without a separate frame. We can tool a star inside a ring, a plain star, or a shield, and adjust the ring width to fit the amount of lettering your agency needs.
Can you add deputy numbers to a badge order like the 1314 on this one?
Yes. Individual numbers are a standard option. The scroll beneath the seal on this badge carries a deputy number, and each piece in your order can carry its own. Send us the number list with your order and the numbering will appear on your proof.
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 engraved scrollwork, a full ring of lettering, and an enameled 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 engraving depth and the star-in-circle construction place a badge like this 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 Washington Parish Sheriff name on it?
Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office — 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 parish name to your own, no credentials are needed.
