About this eagle, handshake and chain shield
Narcotics task forces are partnerships first, and this design puts that front and center. The handshake stands for the agencies working together, the chain for the links between them and the scales for the legal purpose of the work, all under an eagle that signals federal participation. The cool palette of navy, white, blue and gray keeps it serious and easy to wear every day.
Customize it: your region or operation name, the participating levels of government, your own motto, or partner agency seals added around the emblem. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order; proof in 6–12 hours, production after your approval.

Who orders this design

Narcotics task force patch questions
Can partner agency seals be added?
Yes. We can place partner seals around the emblem or in a lower panel, each redrawn stitch-ready at no art charge.
Can the local-state-federal line change?
Yes. It can list different levels, name specific partners or be replaced with a motto. Every lettering line restitches.
Do members from different agencies need different patches?
Usually not, which is the point of a shared design. If you need agency-specific versions, we produce them from the same art and quote them together.
Is there a subdued version for vests?
Yes. Tan, OD green, wolf gray and blackout versions stitch the emblem in a single contrast thread. Preview each in the markup tool.
How quickly can a new task force be outfitted?
The mockup arrives within 4 hours of your quote request, and rush production runs 7–10 days after you approve it.
Need other task force or unit designs?
This page covers one partnership-themed narcotics shield. The task force and unit patches beyond this eagle, handshake and chain shield include crown shields, investigations crests and K9 designs. If you are weighing builds for vests and jackets, the patch ordering guide for a handshake-and-scales task force build explains each option.
