About this torch and laurel crenellated hexagon
Crenellations come from castle walls, and on a campus patch they make a quiet point about protection without weapons or aggressive imagery. Inside, the torch and open book stand for learning and the laurel wreath for achievement, so the emblem speaks to the institution while the outline speaks to the department’s role. Green and gold give it a collegiate palette.
Customize it: your university name, your campus police and security division lines, a different motto or values line, or your school colors in place of green and gold. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order; proof in 6–12 hours, production after your approval.

Campus police security patch questions
Can we order police and security versions from one design?
Yes. We can produce two lettering variants from the same art, one for sworn officers and one for security staff, quoted together.
What are the notches on the outline?
Crenellations, like the top of a castle wall. They give the patch a protective look and a distinctive silhouette, and they price the same as a standard hexagon.
Can the motto and values line change?
Yes. Both lines restitch to any wording, along with the university name and division lines.
Will the crenellations fray?
No. Sharp notches and tight inside corners are hot-cut, which seals the edge as it cuts, so they stay crisp through washing.
Can the colors match our university?
Yes. Send Pantone references or an apparel photo and we match thread as closely as possible on your proof.
Want other campus police shapes?
This hexagon is one campus option. The campus police shapes beyond this torch and laurel crenellated hexagon include scrolls, badge cuts and scalloped rounds.
