Campus Police and Public Safety Patch — Order This Oak Tree and Torch Design
Design S1015A at a glance
A custom-cut royal blue patch built around an oak tree with a torch and an open book — growth, guidance and learning in one emblem. The lettering names a police and public safety department, carries a founding year and motto, and adds a university campus line, each restitchable to your institution. Tan and green give the tree a natural palette against the blue.

About this oak tree, torch and book design
Combined police and public safety departments are common on campuses, and they need insignia that says both enforcement and care. An oak tree with a torch and open book leans toward the academic side, which suits a department whose officers spend as much time on escorts and education as on calls. Royal blue keeps it unmistakably public safety.
Rework it for your campus: your university or college name in the campus line, your department title at the top, or the oak swapped for your campus tree or landmark. 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.

Campus police and public safety patch questions
Can the campus line carry our university's name?
Yes. Every lettering line — department, campus, founding year and motto — restitches to your exact wording.
Can the oak become our campus tree?
Yes. Send a photo of your landmark tree or building and we redraw it with the torch and book at no art charge.
Can we use our school colors?
Yes. Send your color codes and we match threads; the royal blue swaps out cleanly.
Is this design suitable for security officers too?
Yes. Many combined departments order one version for sworn officers and a second lettered for campus security.
How do I mark changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form — circle the tree, torch or lettering, pin notes and switch colorways. Your marked-up design attaches to the quote.
Exploring other campus or public safety designs?
An oak, a torch and a book make an academic emblem; some campus departments want something more traditional. The police patches beyond the oak tree and torch campus design include clock tower rounds, griffin shields and lighthouse crests. For build questions, or to design from your own campus landmark, the patch guide for torch and open book emblem builds has the details.
