Maritime Police Patch — Order the Crossed Oars & Tower Design
Design S0711A at a glance
An olive badge-shaped patch built for agencies with a lot to say: crossed oars and a radio tower share the center with a stitched flag, while a stacked system of panels and letter blocks carries agency, barracks, district and joint-operations wording. Field tones — olive, khaki, grey — place it on the working waterfront rather than the parade ground.

About this crossed oars and tower maritime design
Oars and antenna is an honest pairing for modern water policing — the patrol is still physical, the coordination is all radio — and this layout gives both equal weight at center. What sets it apart is panel capacity: most patches hold three lines of wording, this one holds seven or more between its bands and letter blocks, which is why multi-district and joint-operations agencies, whose full designations never fit anywhere, order it.
Run it as shown or fill it your way: every panel and letter block restitches independently, unused panels close up, and the flag redraws to your state or agency colors. 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.

Who orders this design

Units spanning several barracks or districts fill the letter blocks with each station's code. Orders usually combine duty shoulders with velcro float-coat panels.

Maritime police patch questions
How much wording can the panels actually hold?
Seven or more distinct lines across the bands and letter blocks — agency, barracks, district, unit and a motto all fit. The proof shows your exact fill before production.
Can unused panels be removed?
Yes — any panel you don't fill closes up and the layout rebalances, so a simpler agency gets a cleaner patch from the same design.
Can the flag match our state colors?
Yes. The stitched flag redraws to your state or agency flag at no art charge, in full color or subdued field tones.
What backing survives on float coats?
Hook-side velcro is the standard — it moves between coats and vests and spares the garment's waterproofing from repeated sewing.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle panels, pin numbered notes with your designations — everything attaches to the quote.
