Stag Police Patch — Order This Rearing Stag and Antique Engine Shield
Design S0919A at a glance
A navy shield with a navy border, built around a rearing stag over an antique fire engine, stitched in green and silver. The lettering holds a municipal name, a motto, an established year and a police department line. A police patch with a fire engine is unusual, and it fits towns whose public-safety history starts in a shared firehouse — or whose seal already carries one.

About this rearing stag and antique engine shield
Some of the best department patches borrow from the town seal, and this shield reads like one: a rearing stag for strength and a proud community, an antique fire engine for the civic history behind it. Navy, green and silver keep the palette cool and dignified, without metallic gold, so it sits comfortably on dark uniforms.
Customize the lettering with your department name and founding year, keep the engine if it's part of your seal or swap it for your town hall or patrol car, and redraw the stag as your local animal. 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.

Stag police patch questions
Why is there a fire engine on a police patch?
It reflects towns whose seal or public-safety history includes one. If yours doesn't, we can replace it with your town hall, a bridge or a patrol car at no art charge.
Can the stag be a different animal?
Yes. Elk, horse, bear or any animal tied to your town redraws in its place.
Can we use our town seal instead?
Yes. Send the seal as a PDF or photo and we redraw it stitch-ready to sit in the shield.
Is there a gold version?
Yes. Metallic gold or silver trim is available for a dress run alongside the standard navy, green and silver.
How do I request changes?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the stag or the engine, pin notes on the lettering and attach your seal. Your marked-up version attaches automatically.
Comparing other town police designs?
A seal-style stag shield is one approach — the police patch range from rearing stag town shields to K9 octagons shows others. If you're pricing a dress run alongside duty patches, the custom patch hub that prices a stag shield duty and dress order covers tiers.
