Sheriff Special Tactics Patch — Order This Cougar Star Badge
Design S0806A at a glance
A navy badge cut with a gold border, built around a cougar head on a star with oak leaves, all in two colors. Four lettering lines name the region, the sheriff's department, the founding year and the special tactics unit. The cougar gives a tactical team an aggressive mascot, while the oak leaves keep a ceremonial thread running through the design.

About this cougar and oak leaf tactics badge
Two colors are all this design uses — navy and gold — and that restraint is what makes it work for a tactical unit. The cougar head on a star reads at distance, the oak leaves add rank-style formality, and the simple palette converts to subdued thread without losing the image. It is a team patch that looks right on a dress uniform and on a plate carrier.
Reword the region, department, year and unit lines to your team, or swap the cougar for a wolf, bear or eagle. Subdued coyote and ranger green versions keep the oak leaves visible in tone-on-tone thread. 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 special tactics patch questions
Can the cougar be swapped for our team mascot?
Yes. Send a sketch or photo of your mascot and we redraw it on the star with the oak leaves at no art charge.
Does this design work in subdued colors?
Yes. Because it uses only two colors, it converts to coyote, ranger green or blackout without redrawing.
What size should helmet patches be?
2 to 2.5 inches. We drop to the unit line only at that size so the cougar stays clear.
Can we get matching PVC patches?
Yes. The same art molds in PVC with hook velcro for helmets and bags; both builds fit one quote.
How do I request changes?
Circle the cougar, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways in the markup tool on the quote form. It attaches to your quote.
