Elk Police Patch — Order This Mountain Star Design
Design S1012A at a glance
A star-cut patch in navy, gold and maroon, with an elk head and mountains at center. The lettering covers a police department name, a founding year, a division title and a short motto, all restitchable to your agency. An elk is a rare choice on police insignia, so this star stands apart from the eagle-heavy norm.

About this elk and mountain star design
Elk are a regional symbol across much of the high country, and a police star built around one tells people exactly where the department works. Maroon adds warmth that navy-and-gold stars lack, and the mountains behind the elk give the center field depth without crowding the lettering. The star cut keeps it unmistakably law enforcement.
Order it as shown or rework it: your department name around the star, your division or unit in the lower line, or a bison, moose or bighorn in place of the elk. 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 police patch questions
Can the elk be swapped for another animal?
Yes. Moose, bison, bighorn, bear — send a reference and we redraw it on the star at no art charge.
Can the division line show our unit?
Yes. The division line takes any unit title — patrol, river, traffic, investigations — and all other lines restitch to your wording.
Will the star points fray?
No. Hot-cut edges are heat-sealed as they're cut, which is why sharp points are finished that way — the points stay sharp through washing.
Can we change the maroon?
Yes. Swap it for red, green or any accent in the markup tool, and your quote will reference the colorway you choose.
What size works for caps?
2.5 to 3 inches point-to-point. We simplify the antler detail slightly on your proof at that size.
Want a different animal or shape?
An elk on a star is a regional statement. For shields, rounds and K9 designs, the police patches beyond the elk and mountain star cover every other layout departments order. To compare edge finishes, or to design around a different animal entirely, the patch guide for wildlife emblem stars and hot-cut edges walks through materials and pricing.
