Description
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office serves Monroe County in western New York, with Rochester as the county seat on the shore of Lake Ontario. This badge carries the New York state arms at its center in an antique bronze finish.
Shape & Base: A polished gold six-point star forms the body of the badge, each point capped with a faceted ball finial. An ornate engraved scrollwork relief fills each arm, and a beaded border traces the full outline of the star, so the filigree carries the metal between the seal and the points.
Center: A circular medallion sits at the heart of the star in an antique bronze finish that sets it off from the polished star around it. A darkened ring band carries raised lettering reading STATE OF across the top and NEW YORK across the bottom, and inside sits the New York state arms struck in relief against a dark antiqued ground: two standing figures flanking a shield with a sunrise over a river and ships, an eagle on a globe above, and EXCELSIOR on a banner below.
Star Lettering: The badge carries no scroll ribbons. Curved raised gold lettering is struck straight into the star face against a recessed dark channel: DEPUTY across the top arc, and MONROE COUNTY SHERIFF wrapping the lower arc from left around to right. Two small dots flank DEPUTY at the sides. The gold letters read against the darkened ground rather than against bare metal.
Tonal Detail: This badge works two finishes of the same metal rather than two colors. Polished gold carries the star, the engraved arms, and the ball finials, while an antique bronze finish darkens the seal medallion and the recessed lettering channels. There is no enamel anywhere; the seal reads through relief depth and the oxidized shadow in its recesses, which is what gives the arms their contrast against the bright star.
Finish Quality: The antique-to-polished split is the defining choice: darkening the seal and the lettering channels throws the engraved arms and the state arms into relief while the star stays bright, so the badge carries depth without any color. The scrollwork is struck fine enough to fill each arm without crowding the seal, and the arms medallion holds the two figures, the eagle, and the EXCELSIOR banner at the diameter it sits at. For another gold six-point star badge with New York state arms, see the Dutchess County Correction Officer 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 Monroe County Sheriff design?
Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for sheriff’s offices nationwide. This six-point star style can be ordered as shown, or the seal, the rank line, and the county lettering can be changed to your own agency. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.
Can you give just the seal an antique finish while the star stays polished?
Yes. This badge keeps the star in bright polished gold and darkens only the seal medallion and the lettering channels to an antique bronze, which throws the state arms into relief without any enamel. We can antique a seal, a whole badge, or just the recesses, and show you the contrast on a free proof.
Can you strike a state seal in relief instead of filling it with color?
Yes. The New York arms here are struck as antiqued relief rather than enameled, so the two figures and the shield read through depth and shadow instead of paint. We can build a seal either way. Agencies are responsible for confirming they are authorized to use a given state seal on their badges.
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 ornate engraved arms, an antique seal finish, and struck relief lettering sits toward the longer end of that window, since the die carries the detail. 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 engraved arms and the antique seal finish place a badge like this at the detailed end of the range, even without enamel color. Final pricing is confirmed with a free quote.
Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Monroe County Sheriff name on it?
Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Monroe County 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 county name to your own, no credentials are needed.
