K9 Law Enforcement Patch — Order This Pine and Star Shield
Design S0966A at a glance
A green shield with a black edge, centered on a pine tree and a star in gold and gray. Lettering carries a jurisdiction name, a police line, an established year, a law enforcement line and a K-9 unit line. There is no dog on this one, and that is the point: the patch reads as part of the department first and the K9 unit second.

About this pine and star K9 shield
Not every K9 unit wants a dog on its patch. This shield uses a pine tree and a star, strong and simple symbols of a rural or forested jurisdiction, and lets the lettering identify the unit. Green and gold with a black edge look sharp on duty uniforms and need little change to work on tactical gear. It is also an easy design to adapt for other divisions later.
Order it as drawn or customize it: your jurisdiction name and established year, a canine or K9 team line, or a dog silhouette added beside the pine. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — proof within 6–12 hours, production after your approval.

K9 law enforcement patch questions
Can we add a dog to the design?
Yes. A shepherd, malinois, lab or bloodhound silhouette can be added beside the pine, drawn from a photo of your K9 at no art charge.
Can we reuse this design for other units?
Yes. Only the unit line needs to change, so the same art can become a patrol, traffic or detective patch. Each version gets its own proof.
Does the black border work on dark uniforms?
It reads well on tan, gray and lighter uniforms. On black or navy shirts a gold border may stand out better; preview both in the markup tool.
Can the established year and name change?
Yes. Every lettering line restitches to your exact wording.
How does the subdued version stitch?
The pine and star stitch in a single contrast thread on tan, OD green, wolf gray or blackout twill, with the lettering in the same thread.
