Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Cedar Hill Police design?

Yes. Owl Badges produces custom die-struck metal badges for police departments, sheriff’s offices, and constable offices nationwide. You can order this two-tone oval style as shown or change the motto, the disc emblem, the banner wording, and the plating split to fit your own department. Badges carrying a real agency name require credential verification before production.

What is the minimum order for a police badge like this?

There is a low minimum order. Single badges are available for individual officers, and per-piece pricing drops sharply as quantity rises, which makes larger runs practical for an entire department or a promotion cycle at once.

Can the center disc carry our own motto and emblem instead of a state seal?

Yes. This badge replaces the usual state seal with a black disc carrying the department motto and a Texas outline with a tree inside it, all struck into the same die as the star. We can put your own motto and emblem on that disc, whether that is a city symbol, a unit crest or a state outline with a different device inside it.

How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at a single piece down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes. There is no setup fee and no mold fee. Final pricing depends on the finished design, size, and quantity, and is confirmed with a free quote.

How long does production take?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks for tooling, striking, enamel fill, plating, and finishing after your proof is approved. With black as the only enamel color, the fill stage runs in a single pass, and the two-tone plating is masked around the gold star and lettering afterward.

Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Cedar Hill Police name on it?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Cedar Hill police buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or fictional department designs, and designs where you substitute your own agency name, are welcome without that step.
