Police Specialty Unit Patch — Order This River Landscape Shield
Design S0885A at a glance
A gold-edged shield with a river landscape at its core, set with four unit symbols: gears, scales of justice, a K9 head and a magnifying glass. Four lettering lines carry the department name, a police department line, a specialty services line and the unit number, with navy, gold, green and blue giving the river scene real depth.

About this river landscape specialty unit shield
Specialty units cover a lot of ground — technical support, legal liaison, canine, investigations — and this shield gives each a symbol rather than picking one. The gears, scales, K9 head and magnifier sit within a river landscape that anchors the patch to a place. Four thread colors keep four emblems and a landscape from blurring together, even at shoulder size.
Customize it to your division: set your department and unit number in the lettering, drop any symbol your unit doesn't use, or redraw the river to match your own landmark waterway. 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.

Police specialty unit patch questions
Can the unit number line change for each team?
Yes. Department, specialty services line and unit number all restitch to your wording; give us each variant and the proof shows them side by side.
Can we drop symbols our unit doesn't use?
Yes. Mark any of the four symbols for removal and we rebalance the shield around the rest at no art charge.
Can the K9 head match our dog's breed?
Yes. Send a photo and we redraw the head as your shepherd, Malinois, Lab or bloodhound.
Is a subdued version available for tactical teams?
Yes. Tan, OD green and blackout builds stitch from the same art; preview each colorway in the markup tool.
How do I show our changes on the design?
