Sheriff Office K9 Patch — Order This Scales and Star Shield
Design S0540A at a glance
A green shield carrying the scales of justice balanced over a five-point sheriff star, with the county and office lines above and the K9 unit designation in red below. The scales are what make this K9 patch unusual — offices whose dogs work courthouses and detention order it for exactly that signal — and every line restitches to your county.

About this scales and star K9 design
Most K9 insignia leads with the dog; this one leads with the mission, setting the scales above the star so the patch says justice work before it says canine. That ordering suits court-services and detention K9 teams whose sweeps protect proceedings rather than streets. The green field is a quiet nod to county tradition.
Localize it for your office: county and office in the upper lines, the K9 designation in red below, and a paw device can tuck beside the star if you want the dog visible after all. 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.

Sheriff office K9 patch questions
Can the lines carry our county and office wording?
Yes. County and office in the upper lines, K9 designation in red below — all shown set in the proof before production.
Can a paw or dog device be added to the design?
Yes. A paw tucks beside the star without crowding the scales — mark it in the design tool and the proof shows the balance.
Why scales instead of a dog on a K9 patch?
Mission signaling. Court and detention K9 teams work for the proceedings, and the scales say that in a way a dog head cannot.
Is a command version available?
Yes. Scales and star lift to gold thread for command staff, and command variants share the quantity break with duty patches.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the scales, note the lines, add a paw device. Your markup attaches to the quote automatically.
