Description
The Wheat Ridge Police Department serves Wheat Ridge, a city in Jefferson County in Colorado, just northwest of Denver. This badge carries the City of Wheat Ridge seal on a gold oval with an eagle crest and laurel wreath.
Shape & Base: A polished gold oval forms the body of the badge. A spread-winged eagle with detailed feather engraving and a downturned head perches at the crest, gold laurel branches curve up both sides from the base with each leaf struck separately, and an engraved field with small wheat sprigs flanking the seal fills the face behind the banners.
Center: A circular medallion sits at the heart of the badge. A dark blue enamel ring band carries raised gold lettering reading CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE across the top and COLORADO across the bottom. Inside runs the full-color city seal: a golden wheat sheaf at center against a green landscape, mountains behind under a blue sky, and an animal grazing at lower left.
Banner Lettering: Four gold scroll banners carry the text, each with folded ends. POLICE crosses the top in raised black letters, OFFICER runs on a wider scroll below it, WHEAT RIDGE spans the lower badge in large letters, and a rectangular plaque at the base reads COLORADO. Every letter is raised gold filled with black enamel.
Enamel Detail: Color sits in two registers. Black enamel fills the four banner lettering zones, giving the raised gold text a hard edge against the gold banners, and full color fills the seal, where the wheat sheaf, the landscape, the mountains, the sky, and the animal each sit in a separate recessed cell against the blue ring. The eagle and laurel carry no enamel, reading as gold relief.
Finish Quality: Polished gold carries the oval, the eagle, the laurel, the four banners, and the seal ring, with black enamel in the lettering and full color reserved for the seal. Framing the badge with both an eagle at the crest and laurel up the sides gives it a formal weight, and the small wheat sprigs struck beside the seal echo the city name. The seal is struck fine enough to hold the wheat sheaf and the grazing animal at badge scale. For another gold eagle-and-laurel oval badge with a full-color seal, see the Port Richey Police Detective 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 Wheat Ridge 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 rank line, and the four banners can be changed to your own city and state. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.
Can you reproduce a detailed city seal like the Wheat Ridge one?
Yes. This seal carries a wheat sheaf, a green landscape, mountains, and a grazing animal in full color, each element recessed and filled individually against the blue ring. We can reproduce a city, county, or district seal the same way from artwork you supply, and show you the color separation on a free proof.
Can you add decorative touches that echo the agency name, like the wheat here?
Yes. This badge strikes small wheat sprigs beside the seal, a nod to the Wheat Ridge name. We can work a landmark, symbol, or motif into the engraved field of a badge to tie it to your city, and lay it out against your seal on the proof before any tooling is cut.
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 a struck eagle, laurel branches, four 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 struck eagle and laurel 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 Wheat Ridge Police name on it?
Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Wheat Ridge 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.
