Police Department Shield Patch — Order This Eagle Design
Design S0526A at a glance
A navy shield with a gold eagle mantling a red-white-and-blue US shield, department lettering above and the service motto below in white. This is the straight-ahead municipal layout — no scroll, no extra devices — which is exactly why departments modernizing a cluttered older patch order it; both text lines restitch to your city and wording.

About this department eagle and US shield design
Where many eagle patches bury the bird in devices, this one gives it room — a clean navy field, a full-color US shield at its chest and two disciplined text lines. That restraint is what makes it modern: departments replacing a forty-year-old crowded design order this layout to keep the heraldry and lose the noise.
Set it up for your agency: city and department in the upper line, motto or jurisdiction below, and if your charter has its own crest, it replaces the US shield in the redraw. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Police department shield patch questions
Can both text lines carry our city and department wording?
Yes. The upper line takes the city and department, the lower a motto or jurisdiction — both appear set in the proof before production.
Can our municipal crest replace the US shield?
Yes. Send a photo, scan or PDF of the crest and we redraw it stitch-ready on the eagle’s chest at no art charge.
Is there a subdued version for outer carriers?
Yes. The same art stitches in olive-and-black or grey-on-black subdued schemes — preview each in the markup tool before quoting.
Can divisions get their own lower-line wording?
Yes. Division-worded variants of one design count toward the same quantity break, so patrol and detective versions price as one run.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the eagle, note the text lines, switch colorways. Your markup attaches to the quote automatically.
