About this anchor and ship wheel maritime round
An anchor and a ship wheel are two of the most recognizable maritime symbols there are, and setting an eagle on a star with them turns a nautical emblem into law enforcement insignia. The round shape is practical for boat crews — no points to catch on lines or life jackets — and royal blue reads brighter on the water than standard navy.
Make it yours: your agency or region and maritime unit name in the lettering, a harbor or lake patrol title in place of the special patrol line, or the star swapped for your badge. 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.

Ship wheel police patch questions
Can the lettering name our harbor or lake unit?
Yes. The unit name, special patrol and law enforcement lines all restitch to your exact wording.
Can the star become our badge?
Yes. Send a photo of your badge and we redraw it under the eagle at no art charge.
Is there a waterproof option?
Yes. The same design molds as a PVC patch that stands up to salt water, sun and mud. Many units order both builds on one quote.
What size fits a float coat?
3.5 to 4 inches on hook-side velcro, mated to a loop panel sewn on the coat.
How do I mark up changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form — circle what you want changed, pin notes and switch colorways. The marked-up design attaches to your quote.
