Description
The Chattanooga Police Department serves Chattanooga, the seat of Hamilton County in southeastern Tennessee, on the Tennessee River near the Georgia line. This badge carries the city corporation seal at its center and the date 1852 struck into the field above it.
Shape & Base: A polished gold shield forms the body of the badge, its outline bracketed and scalloped and its field worked with a fine pebbled texture. A spread-winged eagle with engraved feather detail perches at the crest, and a small gold tab centers the bottom edge.
Center: A shield-shaped enamel medallion sits at the heart of the badge. Pale blue enamel fills its upper half, carrying raised gold lettering reading CORPORATION above SEAL. Below runs a full-color scene: a dark red-brown foreground with a spoked artillery wheel at left, a green hillside with a road winding from center to right, purple-grey slopes beyond, and a distant green ridge at the horizon. A small cluster of red enamel dots marks the medallion at its right edge.
Banner Lettering: Three enamel banners carry the text. A dark blue arc banner across the top reads CHATTANOOGA in raised gold letters, a wider blue scroll ribbon with folded ends below it reads POLICE in large gold letters, and a matching blue scroll beneath the seal reads TENNESSEE. The date 1852 sits between the top two banners, struck bare into the gold field rather than enameled. A gold plaque at the base carries a blue enamel panel with the number 136 in raised gold.
Enamel Detail: This badge runs enamel across three registers. Dark blue fills the banners and the number plaque, white fills every leaf of the laurel branches that curve up both sides of the seal from the base, and full color fills the medallion, where the pale sky, the red-brown foreground, the green hillside, the winding road, and the purple slopes each sit in their own recessed cell against raised gold outlines.
Finish Quality: Polished gold carries the shield, the eagle, the wreath stems, the banner frames, and every letter, with no secondary plating tone. The white enamel on the wreath is the unusual choice here: it lifts the laurel off the pebbled gold field instead of letting it blend in, and the seal is struck fine enough to hold the wheel spokes and the road bend at badge scale. For another gold shield badge with a laurel frame and a struck city seal, see the Boston Fire Department 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 Chattanooga 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, the banner text, and the date can be changed to your own department details. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.
Can you enamel a laurel wreath in white like the one on this badge?
Yes. The wreath here is filled white leaf by leaf, which lifts it off the pebbled gold field instead of letting it blend in. Enameling a wreath is a design choice rather than a technical limit, so we can fill it white, leave it bare gold, or use any color that suits your badge, and show you the options on a free proof.
Can you reproduce a full-color city seal like the corporation seal on this badge?
Yes. The medallion here runs full color across several separate cells, with the sky, the foreground, the hillside, and the road each recessed and filled individually against raised gold outlines. We can reproduce your own city or corporation seal the same way from artwork you supply or from a clean photograph of an existing badge.
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 carrying three enamel registers — the blue banners, the white wreath, and the full-color 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 enameled wreath and the multi-color seal 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 Chattanooga Police name on it?
Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Chattanooga 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.
