Description
The Kentucky State Police is the statewide law enforcement agency for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, with troopers posted across all 120 counties. This badge carries the Kentucky state seal at its center and a sample number plaque at the base.
Shape & Base: A polished silver oval forms the body of the badge, narrowing to a rounded point at the bottom. A spread-winged eagle with engraved feather detail and a downturned head perches at the crest, silver laurel branches curve up both sides from the base with each leaf struck separately, crossed implements sit behind the seal at either side, and a stippled field fills the face behind the banners.
Center: A circular medallion sits at the heart of the badge. A dark blue enamel ring band circles it, struck plain with no lettering. Inside sits a pale enamel disc holding the Kentucky state seal in silver relief: two figures facing each other in a handshake, flanked by branches, with curved lettering around the lower disc reading UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.
Banner Lettering: Three lettering zones stack down the face. A silver scroll ribbon with folded ends reads TROOPER in large letters at the top, a wider scroll below it reads KENTUCKY STATE, and a third scroll with curled ends sits beneath the seal reading POLICE. A rectangular plaque with a raised border closes the base reading 0000, a sample number standing in for an issued one. Every letter is raised silver filled with blue enamel.
Enamel Detail: The badge runs one color across two registers. Blue fills the three lettering zones and the seal ring band, so the text and the ring read against the same field. The seal takes a pale enamel ground instead, with the handshake, the figures, and the motto all struck in silver relief rather than filled in color, which keeps the center reading as metal against the blue.
Finish Quality: Polished silver carries the oval, the eagle, the laurel, the crossed implements, the banner frames, the seal, and every letter, with no secondary plating tone. The stippled field keeps the banners from floating flat, and the seal is struck fine enough to hold the two figures and the curved motto at the diameter it sits at. For another silver laurel badge with a relief state seal, see the Gainesville Police Corporal 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 Kentucky State Police design?
Yes, subject to the credential requirements below. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for state, county, and municipal agencies nationwide. This eagle-topped oval style can be ordered with your own seal, rank line, and agency name, and there is no setup fee and no mold fee.
What does the 0000 on the number plaque mean?
It is a sample number rather than an issued one. Badges shown with 0000 are display pieces used to present a design without carrying a real trooper number. On a live order, each badge can be struck with its own number, and you send the number list with your order so it appears on your proof.
Can you strike a state seal in relief instead of filling it with color?
Yes. The medallion on this badge is struck in silver relief against a pale ground rather than enameled figure by figure, which is what lets the handshake and the curved motto read at this diameter. We can build your seal either way and show you both on a free proof. Agencies are responsible for confirming they are authorized to use a given state seal.
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 struck laurel, crossed implements, a stippled field, and a relief 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 laurel detail and the relief 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 Kentucky State Police name on it?
Yes, and the requirement is stricter than for most agencies. Kentucky law (KRS 16.220) restricts the manufacture, sale, and possession of Kentucky State Police badges and insignia, so badges bearing the KSP name are supplied only to the agency itself or to its authorized representatives, with an authorized purchasing letter or valid credentials required before production. Reproductions are not sold to the general public. Designing a badge for your own agency with your own seal and name is welcome without that step.
