City Patrol Patch — Order This Badger Shield Design
Design S0447A at a glance
A pointed shield in earth tones — tan field, a badger's unmistakable striped head over crossed tusks, 'Urban Vigilance' style motto space below. The badger is patrol temperament in animal form: small territory, total commitment. Borough and district forces letter the arcs with their patrol area; the tusks swap for batons on request, though few request it.

About this badger patrol design
Not every department wants an eagle. The badger carries different information — ground-level, tenacious, unglamorous in exactly the way patrol work is — and the earth-tone palette extends the point: this is a patch about the beat, not the skyline above it. The pointed shield cut sharpens what would otherwise read rustic into something with an edge.
District patrols set their area name in the upper arc and their founding year at the point; the striped head also redraws to your local take — more grizzled, more heraldic, or portrait-true from a zoo photo if the department has a mascot story. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order; proof in 6–12 hours, production after approval.

Who orders this design

City patrol patch questions
Can our district name go in the arc?
Yes — the upper arc takes about 24 characters at 4 inches. Longer names split across arc and point panel; the mockup shows your exact fit.
Why crossed tusks instead of weapons?
They're the badger's own armament — the design stays coherent. Batons or keys swap in free if your committee prefers, shown on the proof.
Does the earth palette work with navy uniforms?
The tan field frames well against navy — contrast is the point of a shoulder patch. For tone-matching instead, the wolf-gray build sits quieter.
Can officers order personal extras later?
Yes — your art file stays on record, so reorders at any quantity skip setup. Many departments run an annual top-up order.
How do we get the quote rolling?
Mark your district wording on the design with this page's markup tool and submit the quote form — the stitch-ready mockup is back within 4 hours.
Digging into other designs?
The badger suits a certain temperament — departments after statelier emblems should walk the assembled police patch designs from eagles to K9 units instead. Whichever way the vote goes, the ordering fundamentals page for custom patches of every build covers cost and timeline questions first.
