Sturgeon Police Department Patch — Order This Crossed Oars Shield
Design S1121A at a glance
A gold-edged navy shield with a sturgeon stretched over a pair of crossed oars, finished in tan and gold. Lettering carries the town name, a police department line, an established year and a two-part motto, and each one restitches to yours. A fish and oars say waterfront community before any word is read, which makes this a strong fit for departments whose town grew up around fishing and boating.

About this sturgeon and crossed oars police shield
Local wildlife makes some of the most memorable police insignia, and a sturgeon is a rare choice that residents recognize instantly in the places where it swims. Here it lies across crossed oars, linking the department to the fishing and boating heritage of its town. Navy, gold and tan keep the shield in classic police territory without competing with the emblem.
Order it as shown or adapt it: put your town and department name in the lettering, write your own motto, or swap the sturgeon for the fish or wildlife your community is known for. 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.

Sturgeon police department patch questions
Can the sturgeon become a different fish?
Yes. A trout, walleye, salmon or any species your town is known for can take its place, redrawn from a photo at no art charge.
Can our town name and motto go in the lettering?
Yes. The town, department, year and motto lines all restitch to your exact wording, shown on your 4-hour mockup.
Will the fish scales show at shoulder size?
At 4 inches and up the scale pattern and fins stay distinct. Smaller than that, we simplify them on your proof so the stitching stays clean.
Do you make a version for our marine unit?
Yes. Many departments order the same shield with hook-side velcro for float coats, or add a short marine unit line beneath the oars.
How do I request edits to this shield?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the fish, pin notes on the lettering and preview other colorways. The marked-up design attaches to your quote.
