Community Policing Patch — Order This Tree, River & Keys Round
Design S1027A at a glance
A gold-bordered navy round with a small shield at its center showing a tree, a river and a pair of crossed keys, ringed by a department name line and a unit line. Only two colors, navy and gold, which keeps it clean at any size and simple to reissue in subdued thread. The landscape says neighborhood rather than enforcement, which is why community-facing units choose it.

About this tree and river community round
Community policing units need insignia that feels approachable without looking unofficial. This round gets there with a landscape instead of a weapon or badge: a tree, a river and crossed keys inside a small shield, ringed in gold on navy. The keys keep a quiet note of authority, and the navy-and-gold palette matches what most departments already wear on duty.
Make it local: redraw the tree and river as a landmark from your district, reword the ring for your department and program, or add a founding year. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order; proof within 6–12 hours, production after approval.

Community policing patch questions
Can the tree and river become a landmark from our town?
Yes. Send a photo of the landmark — a bridge, a water tower, a park — and we redraw it into the center shield at no art charge. You see it on the proof before production.
Can we order patches to hand out at outreach events?
Yes. The same art works as an iron-on embroidered patch or a molded PVC piece for giveaways — quote both versions together from one art file.
What can the lettering ring say?
Whatever your program needs: department name, unit, a slogan or a founding year. Both lettering lines restitch to your exact wording on the mockup.
Does a two-color design cost less?
Pricing runs $3.00–$20.00 each by quantity. The two-color palette mainly pays off in detail — it stays sharp at small sizes, so caps and polos look as good as shirts.
How do I request changes?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the tree, pin numbered notes and switch colorways. Your marked-up round attaches to the quote automatically.
Outreach unit, or a full department rollout?
If your department needs patrol or specialty insignia beyond outreach, the patrol and specialty police designs apart from this tree and river round sort every shape we stitch. Planning a giveaway batch alongside duty patches, or comparing iron-on against sew-on? The patch backing and build guide for outreach-event giveaway runs explains materials, minimums and pricing.
