Description
The Bal Harbour Police Department serves the Village of Bal Harbour, a small oceanfront community in Miami-Dade County on a barrier island north of Miami Beach. This badge carries a full-color Florida seal set into a deep blue enamel field.
Shape & Base: A polished gold oval forms the body of the badge, edged with a raised beaded rim. A spread-winged eagle with detailed feather engraving perches at the crest, gold laurel branches curve up both sides from the base with each leaf struck separately, and the laurel frames a deep blue enamel field that fills the oval behind the seal. A gold rosette sits at each banner end.
Center: A circular medallion sits at the heart of the badge in a raised gold ring, with a small red bead at the left and right of the band. The dark blue ring band carries raised gold lettering reading STATE OF across the top and FLORIDA across the bottom, and inside runs the full-color Florida seal: a green palm at right, a figure in a red dress at left scattering flowers, a gold sunburst radiating above, a steamboat on blue water, and green land across the foreground.
Banner Lettering: Four lettering zones stack down the face. A curved band across the crown reads BAL HARBOUR POLICE in black letters. Below it a two-tone banner with silver scroll ends and a blue enamel center reads OFFICER in raised silver. A gold scroll below the seal reads DEPARTMENT in black, a silver scroll beneath that carries a gold star at its center with no lettering, and a small gold plaque at the base reads FL.
Enamel Detail: This badge runs color across three registers. Deep blue enamel fills the oval field behind the seal and the OFFICER center panel, black fills the top-arc and DEPARTMENT lettering, and full color fills the seal, where the palm, the figure, the sunburst, the steamboat, and the water each sit in a separate recessed cell. The blue field is the unusual element here, giving the gold laurel and the seal a dark ground to read against rather than bare metal.
Finish Quality: Polished gold carries the oval, the eagle, the laurel, and most of the banners, with silver held to the OFFICER panel ends and the starred lower scroll for contrast. Filling the oval behind the seal with blue enamel rather than leaving it gold is what sets this badge apart from a plain wreath shield, and the seal is struck fine enough to hold the figure and the steamboat against that dark field at badge scale. For another gold laurel badge with a full-color Florida 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 Bal Harbour Police design?
Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for police departments nationwide. This eagle-topped oval style can be ordered as shown, or the seal, the enamel field, and the banner text can be changed to your own village or city. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.
Can you fill the field behind the seal with enamel like the blue here?
Yes. The oval behind the seal on this badge is filled deep blue rather than left as bare gold, which gives the wreath and the seal a dark ground to read against. We can flood that field in any color, leave it as polished or brushed metal, or texture it, and show you the options on a free proof.
Can you mix silver and gold banners on one badge?
Yes. This badge keeps most of the metal gold but runs the OFFICER panel ends and the starred lower scroll in silver for contrast. Two-tone accents like that are struck into the same die, so we can place silver wherever it suits your layout and confirm the split 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 struck laurel, an enamel field, two-tone banners, and a multi-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 laurel detail, the enamel field, and the two-tone plating 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 Bal Harbour Police name on it?
Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Bal Harbour 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.
