Sheriff Patrol Patch — Order This Hawk & Crossed Keys Star
Design S0548A at a glance
An ornate multi-point star edged in twisted gold rope, with a hawk perched on crossed keys at its heart — vigilance standing guard over custody and trust, the oldest symbols in county service. Navy fields carry the gold lettering, with red accents keeping the points from reading flat. The county arc, motto and division lines all restitch to your office's wording.

About this hawk and crossed keys star design
Rope borders are usually reserved for dress insignia, and putting one on a daily-wear star is what gives this design its ceremonial weight. The hawk-over-keys centerpiece reads as watchfulness over the county's keys — courts, jail, records — which suits offices that want patrol insignia carrying more history than a plain star. Red is rationed to thin accent panels so the navy-and-gold body stays formal at shoulder size.
Order it as drawn or shape it to your office: the arc and division lines take your county and unit wording, the stitched year swaps to your own, and the hawk redraws to your seal or mascot from any photo. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order; proof lands in 6–12 hours and production waits for your approval.

Sheriff patrol patch questions
Can the hawk be replaced by our county seal?
Yes. Send a photo, scan or PDF and we redraw the seal into the star center stitch-ready at no charge — the rope border and points stay as shown.
Does the rope border cost extra?
No. The twisted gold edge is part of the embroidery, priced inside the same $3.00–$20.00 quantity ladder as every patch.
Can we run a dress version alongside duty patches?
Yes — many offices order one run in standard thread and a second in metallic gold for honor-guard jackets, under one minimum.
Will the motto line take our office's own wording?
It will. Arc, motto and division lines all restitch exactly to your text, shown first on the free proof.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle points, pin notes on panels, switch thread — your marked file attaches to the quote.
