Special Operations Starburst Patch — Order This Eagle, Key and Gavel Design
Design S0773A at a glance
A navy starburst outlined in olive, carrying an eagle with a key and gavel on a shield at center. Silver and gold pick out the emblem while the olive edge keeps the whole patch close to field-gear tones. Two lettering fields — a regional name and the unit designation — restitch to your agency, a fit for operations teams whose work runs through the courts as much as the street.

About this eagle, key and gavel starburst design
The key and gavel give this starburst a judicial edge — they read as warrant service and court-ordered operations, the work many special operations units actually do. The navy-and-olive combination sits between dress insignia and field kit, so one patch works on both. The starburst cut itself is the classic police badge silhouette, translated into thread.
Adapt it before ordering: put your region or department in the upper field, keep or rename the unit line, or have the key and gavel redrawn as your own emblem. 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

Agencies that pool officers from several departments use the regional field to name the group rather than any one department.

Special operations starburst patch questions
Can the regional name be replaced with our department?
Yes. Both lettering fields restitch to your wording — department, region or team name up top, unit designation below — and the proof shows them set.
Is the olive border available in other colors?
Yes. Black, navy and tan edges are all options; preview each colorway in the markup tool and your quote references the one you picked.
What do the key and gavel represent?
Traditionally, access and the court — fitting for warrant service and judicial support units. If your unit's role differs, we can swap them for your own symbols at no art charge.
Can we order matching PVC patches?
Yes. The same starburst molds in PVC with hook velcro, and both builds can ride on one quote.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the gavel, pin a note on the regional line, switch the colorway. The marked-up version attaches to your quote automatically.
Scoping insignia beyond one unit?
This page covers one judicial-themed starburst. For other department insignia, browse the police unit designs from K9 shields to traffic rounds that sit beside this key and gavel starburst.
