Description
Correction officers with the Dutchess County Jail serve Dutchess County in New York’s Hudson Valley, with Poughkeepsie as the county seat. This badge carries the New York state arms at its center.
Shape & Base: A polished gold six-point star forms the body of the badge, each point capped with a ball finial. Engraved laurel sprays fill the arms inside a beaded border that traces the full outline, and a raised triangular panel is struck into each arm.
Center: A circular medallion sits at the heart of the star. A dark blue enamel ring band carries raised gold lettering reading STATE OF across the top and NEW YORK across the bottom, with the state motto worked into small banners. Inside runs the full-color New York arms: two standing figures flanking a shield that shows a sunrise over a river with ships and mountains behind, worked in blue, green, and gold.
Banner Lettering: Four lettering zones stack down the face. A gold scroll ribbon with folded ends crosses the upper star reading CORRECTION, a curved band beneath it reads OFFICER, a wider scroll with folded ends sits below the seal reading DUTCHESS CO., and a small flat plaque at the bottom point reads N.Y. Every letter is raised gold filled with black enamel.
Enamel Detail: The badge holds color in two places. Black enamel fills the four lettering zones, giving the raised gold text a hard edge against the laurel arms. Full-color enamel is confined to the seal, where the two figures, the shield, the sunrise, the river, and the ships each sit in a separate recessed cell against the blue ring, so the arms carry all the color on an otherwise gold star.
Finish Quality: Polished gold carries the star, the beaded border, the triangular panels, the ball finials, the banners, the seal ring, and every letter, with no secondary plating tone. Stacking a two-line rank across the top of the star, CORRECTION over OFFICER, is what marks this as a corrections badge rather than a patrol star, and the seal is struck fine enough to hold the two figures and the shield at badge scale. For another gold six-point star badge with New York state arms, see the Livingston 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 Dutchess County Correction design?
Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for correctional agencies, sheriff’s offices, and police departments nationwide. This six-point star style can be ordered as shown, or the seal, the rank lines, and the county banner can be changed to your own agency. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.
Can you make badges for a correctional facility or jail?
Yes. Correction badges are a regular part of what we produce, and they follow the same process as a patrol badge: the rank line reads CORRECTION OFFICER here, and we can strike sergeant, lieutenant, captain, or any other rank for your facility on the same die. Send your rank breakdown with the order.
Can you stack a two-line rank across the top of a star badge?
Yes. This badge runs CORRECTION over OFFICER as two separate zones at the top, above the seal. Stacking the rank that way keeps each line readable rather than crowding a long title onto one banner, and we lay it out against your actual wording on the 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 arms, four lettering zones, 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 engraving and the number of enamel colors in the 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 Dutchess County Correction name on it?
Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Dutchess County correctional agency — 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 county name to your own, no credentials are needed.
