Description
The Progreso Police Department serves a border city in southern Hidalgo County on the Rio Grande, south of Weslaco at the international bridge to Nuevo Progreso in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley. Its badge is a polished gold oval built around a blue enamel map of Texas, with a gold star and a red-ringed state seal set at the center.
Shape and Base: The badge is a gold oval with a split-texture field — sunburst rays through the upper half and a pebble grain across the lower. POLICE arcs the crown on a gold ribbon in black block letters, with drape tails at the shoulders.
Center Design: A blue enamel map of Texas spans the center, and over it stands a polished gold five-point star carrying a seal ringed THE STATE OF TEXAS in red around a gold lone star and wreath on blue.
Banner Lettering: PROGRESO crosses the lower field on a gold ribbon in bold black letters, and TEXAS follows on a second gold ribbon beneath it to close the base of the oval.
Tonal Detail: Gold carries the oval, both textures, star, and ribbons, while the blue map and red seal ring supply all the color — a bright, classic layout where the map frames the star like a backdrop.
Finish Quality: Each badge is die-struck in solid metal, plated in polished gold, filled with blue and red enamel at the map and seal, and fitted with a pin-back and safety clasp. For the county lawman over the same Hidalgo County neighborhoods, see the Hidalgo County Sheriff 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 you set a gold star over a blue enamel map like this Progreso badge?
Yes. The map is a recessed field filled with blue enamel, and the gold star is struck as a raised layer above it, so the star edges stand crisp against the color. The map can carry your own state outline in any enamel color, and you approve the layering on a free proof before tooling.
Can the same design be made in silver or two-tone?
Yes. The same die strikes in all gold as shown, all silver, or two-tone, with the star and ribbons in one metal and the oval in the other. The blue map and red seal ring stay the same in every finish.
What does a badge like this cost?
Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. The blue map enamel, raised star, and seal are all included in that range, confirmed with a free quote.
How long does production take?
Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering die tooling, striking in solid metal, gold plating, the blue and red enamel fills, and hand-finishing across both field textures.
Can the ribbons carry our own rank and city?
Yes. POLICE on the crown re-letters to OFFICER, SERGEANT, CHIEF, or any title, PROGRESO re-letters to your own city, and TEXAS swaps to your state or a badge number.
Do we need credentials to order a badge with a real city name on it?
Yes. Badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Fictional or fully customized designs with your own name are welcome without that step.
