Multi-Agency Task Force Patch — Order This Winged Eagle Maltese Cross
Design S0925A at a glance
A police Maltese cross — rarer than the shield, which is the point — built around a winged eagle with a star and a scales-of-justice shield in navy, gold and silver. Eight lettering lines cover the partner levels of government, a regional designation, joint operations, investigations, intelligence and a unit name. Every line restitches to your own task force, or trims down if you need fewer.

About this multi-agency eagle and scales cross
Task forces that combine federal, state and local officers need insignia that belongs to no single agency, and the cross does that job well — it reads as a service emblem without borrowing any one department’s shield. The winged eagle carries the authority, the scales signal the investigative mission, and the star ties it back to the badge. Navy, gold and silver keep it formal.
Customize the wording to match your charter: name the partner agencies, set your region and unit designation, or cut the eight lines down to three for a cleaner small patch. The eagle can also be replaced with a task force seal you already use. 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.

Multi-agency task force patch questions
Can we list our partner agencies on the patch?
Yes. The lettering lines restitch to any wording — partner agencies, region, unit name or motto. If the full list runs long, your proof will suggest a size that keeps every line legible.
Is a Maltese cross appropriate for a police task force?
It works well for multi-agency units because it doesn’t copy any one department’s shield. Officers from every partner agency can wear it without it reading as someone else’s patch.
Can the eight lines be reduced?
Yes. Many task forces keep three or four lines — usually the task force name, region and unit — and the proof shows the simplified layout before production.
What backing should we order for raid vests?
Hook-side velcro. It mates with the loop panels on most vests and carriers, so the same patch moves between kit.
How do I send our seal or wording changes?
Mark them up directly on this design in the quote form — circle elements, pin notes, change colorways — or upload your seal file. Both attach to your quote.
Building insignia for a different kind of unit?
One task force cross won’t fit every assignment. The police patch catalog with shields and stars beyond this winged eagle cross covers patrol, K9 and investigations layouts. Still weighing embroidery against woven or PVC, or working from your own seal? The custom patch guide for multi-agency eagle and scales insignia explains builds, backings and quantity pricing.
