About this eagle, key and star arched shield
Eagles and stars are standard on department shields; the key is what makes this one memorable. It hints at the key to the city or a trust handed to officers, and it sits naturally with the eagle on the star. Navy, silver and gold give it a formal finish that fits dress and duty uniforms alike.
Customize it with your town and department names, motto and founding year, or swap the key for a local symbol. 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.
