About this crossed mace and winged staff round
The mace is an old emblem of lawful authority and the winged staff one of messengers and swift service, so crossing them behind a badge gives this round a ceremonial, almost parliamentary weight. Black and gold keep it formal, and the two-tone rope border turns an ordinary circle into something that looks at home on a dress uniform.
Make it yours: letter the round with your department and unit names, set your founding year, or swap the badge in the center for a likeness of your own shield. 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.

Police dress uniform patch questions
Can the badge show our actual department shield?
Yes. Send a front-on photo of your badge and we redraw it at the center at no art charge, keeping the mace and staff with it.
What does the crossed mace and winged staff mean?
The mace is a traditional symbol of lawful authority; the winged staff stands for swift, reliable service. Together they frame the badge as an emblem of duty.
Can the rope border be one color?
Yes. A single gold, silver or gray rope is available, or a plain merrowed edge if you prefer.
Does this work as a cap patch?
Yes. At 2 to 2.5 inches we simplify the laurel so the badge and crossed emblems stay crisp.
How do I request changes to this round?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the badge or emblems, pin numbered notes and pick colors. The marked-up design attaches to your quote automatically.
Want to compare this with other police rounds and shields?
A formal round is one option among many. Departments comparing it to shields, stars and K9 designs can browse the police patch layouts beyond the crossed mace and winged staff round by unit and shape. If rope borders, metallic thread or backing choices are the open question, the patch build comparison for mace and winged staff rope-edge orders lays out embroidered, woven and PVC side by side.
