Frequently Asked Questions

Can you set rivet studs around the rim like this Richland Hills badge?

Yes. The rivet studs are struck as raised domes spaced evenly around the oval rim, giving the badge a heavy, hand-built look. The number of studs and their spacing can be adjusted, and you approve the layout on a free proof before tooling.

Can the four words in the black ring be changed?

Yes. The ring takes any four words your department stands for — SERVING, PROTECTING, COMMUNITY, and PARTNERSHIP as shown, or your own set — struck into the die and filled with black enamel so they read cleanly against the gold.

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 rivet rim, seal star, values ring, and flag enamel 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, two-tone plating, the black, red, and flag enamel fills, and hand-finishing of the rivets and wreath.

Can the CHIEF crown carry a different rank?

Yes. The crown panel can read OFFICER, SERGEANT, LIEUTENANT, CAPTAIN, or any rank, and the RICHLAND HILLS, POLICE, and TEXAS ribbons re-letter to your own city, agency, and state. The EST. panel takes any year 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.
