Police Monogram Shield Patch — Order This Oak Leaf and Acorn Design
Design S0976A at a glance
A black shield with a gold edge, built around a monogram shield of department initials, with oak leaves and acorns gathered around it and crown points adding a formal, crest-like note. White lettering carries a town name, a founding year and a police line — every line restitches to yours, and the monogram resets to your own initials.

About this oak leaf monogram police shield
Monogram patches let a department be identified by its initials the way a university is known by its seal, and the oak-and-acorn framing adds a heraldic sense of age and endurance. Black and gold give it the authority of a dress patch while still reading cleanly on navy or gray uniform shirts, and the crown points give the whole design the outline of a crest.
Order it as shown or tailor it: reset the monogram to your department's initials, put your town and founding year in the lettering, or switch the black field to navy to match your uniform. 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.

Who orders this design
Small-town and village police departments order this monogram shield when their initials are how residents already refer to them. It also suits departments marking a centennial or reissuing a heritage patch, since the oak-and-acorn framing has an old-school look. Many add a cap-size version for command staff.

Police monogram shield patch questions
Can the monogram use our department's initials?
Yes. The center shield takes two or three letters in a serif, block or script letterform. Send an existing logo if you have one and we match it.
Can the oak leaves change to another plant?
Yes. Laurel, olive or pine can replace the oak and acorns at no art charge — useful if your town's emblem uses a different tree.
Does the black field work on navy uniforms?
It does — the gold edge separates the patch from the shirt. If you prefer a softer look, we can run the field in navy instead.
Can we order a cap-size version in the same run?
Yes. Add a 2" or 2.5" cap version to the same order; we simplify the acorn detail so it stays crisp at that size.
How do I note changes on this design?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the monogram, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. The marked-up version attaches to your quote automatically.
