Design S0990A at a glance
A navy round with a navy edge, worked entirely in navy and silver: an elk head set on a star at the center, with lettering for a police department, a unit number and a service motto around it. The two-tone build keeps the antlers crisp, and every line of lettering restitches to your department's own wording.

About this elk head and star round
An elk is an emblem of high country and quiet strength, and placing its head on a star turns wildlife art into law enforcement insignia. Stitched in just navy and silver, the antlers become the design's main line work, sharp and readable at shoulder distance — the kind of patch that looks equally right on a patrol shirt and a field jacket.
Order it as shown or adjust it: set your department name, unit number and motto in the lettering, swap the elk for a moose, bighorn or bear, or add a third accent color for a dress version. 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.

Elk head police patch questions
Can a different animal replace the elk?
Yes. A moose, bighorn ram, bear or any local animal can go on the star, redrawn from a photo at no art charge.
What goes in the unit number line?
Your squad, district or unit number — or the line can carry a second motto. It restitches to your exact wording.
Is two-tone too plain for a dress uniform?
Two-tone reads deliberately understated. For dress wear, add a metallic silver or a gold accent; the mockup shows both.
What backing works for winter jackets?
Sew-on is standard for jackets. If the patch moves between jackets and vests, choose hook-side velcro.
How do I mark up this round?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the elk or star, pin notes on each lettering line, and pick colors. The markup attaches to your quote automatically.
Want to see other wildlife and department patches?
This round puts local wildlife on a star. If your department prefers eagles, badges or traditional shields, the police patch designs beyond the elk head and star round cover every shape we stitch for agencies. For two-tone versus full-color builds, metallic thread and quantity pricing, the patch build guide for two-tone elk head round orders lays it out step by step.
