Design S0983A at a glance
An arched shield with a gold edge, showing a train with a star over a river, an arrow, and a spray of oak and maple leaves in navy, gold, silver and blue. The lettering carries an area name, public safety, transit and police lines plus a founding year — every line restitches to your authority's own names.

About this train, river and maple leaf arched shield
Regional transit police cover more than track — rivers, towns and the country between them — and this shield maps all of it: a train for the network, a river for the landscape it crosses, an arrow for direction and oak and maple leaves for the communities along the line. Four threads keep a detailed scene readable on navy.
Fit it to your authority: put your area and department lines in the lettering, redraw the train as your own railcar or bus, or trade the oak and maple for your region's trees. 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.

Transit public safety patch questions
Can the train become a bus or ferry?
Yes. Send a photo of your vehicle — bus, ferry or streetcar — and we redraw it in place of the train at no art charge.
Can we change the oak and maple leaves?
Yes. Any regional tree or plant can replace them, redrawn from a reference photo; the proof shows the change before production.
Can police and civilian staff share the design?
Yes. Order one version with a police line and one with public safety wording; both run on a single order.
Will four thread colors hold up at small sizes?
At 3.5 inches and up the scene stays clear. For cap sizes we simplify the leaves and river so they don't merge.
How do I request edits to this shield?
Open the markup tool in the quote form to circle elements, pin notes and switch colorways. Your marked-up version attaches to the quote automatically.
