Rural Sheriff Department Patch — Order This Bear Paw Round
Design S0886A at a glance
A navy round with a gold edge, centered on a sheriff star with a bear paw and a stand of pine trees. Three lettering lines carry the county sheriff's department, a rural unit line and a founding year with a short motto, so gold and silver on navy keep it classic while the paw and pine trees say backcountry.

About this bear paw and pine round sheriff design
Rural deputies cover more ground with fewer people than almost anyone in law enforcement, and their patch should look like the country they patrol. A bear paw and pine trees on a sheriff's star do exactly that — wildlife, timber and authority in one compact emblem. The round format keeps the design simple and readable, and gold with silver on navy is a palette every sheriff's office already wears.
Order it as shown or adjust it: set your county and unit in the lettering, change the founding year and motto, or trade the bear paw for an elk track or wolf print. 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.

Rural sheriff department patch questions
Can the lettering show our county and unit?
Yes. All three lines — department, unit and founding year with motto — restitch to your wording and appear set in the proof.
We only have twelve deputies. Can we order that few?
Yes. The minimum is 10 pieces, so a twelve-deputy office orders exactly what it needs.
Can the bear paw become another animal?
Yes. Elk tracks, wolf prints or a bison silhouette all redraw onto the star at no art charge.
Will metallic thread hold up on a working uniform?
Yes. Metallic gold and silver stand up to regular laundering; flat gold is an option if you prefer a matte look.
How do I request changes?
Mark the design with the markup tool in the quote form — circle the paw or pine trees, pin notes on the lettering, switch colors. Your markup attaches to your quote.
