Intelligence Unit Patch — Order This Skyline Bridge Design
Design S0440A at a glance
A two-thread shield — gold linework on navy — where an eagle banks over a city rendered as its signals: skyline, suspension bridge, radio tower. Criminal intelligence and fusion-center units like that the radio mast gets equal billing with the buildings; collection is the job. The skyline redraws to your city, the banners to your unit, and 'SINCE' dates to your founding.

About this intelligence unit design
Intelligence units watch a city the way this patch draws one — as infrastructure and signal paths rather than postcard views. The two-color discipline (gold on navy, nothing else) gives it the engraved look of currency, which suits units that prefer understatement, and it means the fine bridge cables stitch clean instead of muddying into a third color.
Fusion centers redraw the skyline to their metro and put the center's name in the top banner; regional intel groups list member counties along the base. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — stitch-ready proof arrives in 6–12 hours, and production begins only after you approve it.

Intelligence unit patch questions
Can the skyline be our actual city?
Yes — send a wide photo and we redraw the recognizable towers, your bridge and your broadcast mast into the linework at no art charge.
Do analysts and sworn staff get different patches?
Usually one art, two banner texts — 'INTELLIGENCE UNIT' and 'CRIME ANALYSIS' versions order together and price at the combined quantity.
Is there a version for covert assignments?
The blackout build reduces the whole design to near-tonal stitching — present at arm's length, invisible at ten feet. Preview it in the markup tool.
Can we add a founding year?
Yes — a 'SINCE 1998' style line sits under the base banner. Dates, mottos and unit numbers all fit; the mockup shows placement.
What does a 25-piece order cost?
The 20–29 tier runs $14.00 per embroidered patch — typical for an intel unit outfitting analysts and sworn members together.
Collecting on other requirements?
Intel insignia is one node in the network — the full police patch catalog from precinct patrol to specialized squads covers the operational side of the house.
