Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Childress 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 laurel-bordered oval as shown or change the eagle, the flags, the seal, 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 eagle head be changed to a full eagle or another emblem?

Yes. This badge uses an eagle head in profile rather than the full spread-wing eagle, which leaves room for the two flags on either side of it. We can strike a full eagle, a different bird, or a state or city emblem in that position, and the flags on their staffs can be kept, replaced or removed to suit.

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. The two flags and the seal carry separate color sets, so each is filled and leveled on its own before the two-tone plating is masked and applied.

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

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Childress 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.
