Sheriff SWAT Team Patch — Order This Lion Head Keyhole Design
Design S1335A at a glance
A keyhole-shaped patch edged in grey merrow, with a lion head as its single emblem. Four lettering lines carry the county name, a sheriff’s office line, a motto and a SWAT unit callout. Charcoal and grey keep it low-visibility on tactical kit, while gold thread adds just enough contrast to read at a glance.

About this lion head keyhole SWAT design
The keyhole outline is a quiet nod to what tactical teams do — gaining entry — and it gives the patch a silhouette nobody else on the range is wearing. The lion head adds the courage-and-command symbolism teams like, without the cartoonish look of some tactical art. Three subdued threads keep it at home on plate carriers and helmet covers.
Make it your team's: change the callout to Special Response, Tactical Team or Entry Team, swap the lion for your team animal, or take it fully subdued in black and coyote. 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.

Sheriff SWAT team patch questions
Can the lion be replaced with our team emblem?
Yes. Send your emblem or a sketch and we redraw it inside the keyhole at no art charge. Your proof shows the swap before production.
Is a fully subdued version available?
Yes. Blackout, coyote, ranger green and grey builds all work. Preview them in the markup tool and your quote references the colorway you choose.
Will four lines of lettering fit at carrier size?
On a 3-inch carrier patch we usually keep the callout and county name and drop the motto. Both layouts show on your proof.
What backing do tactical teams order?
Hook-side velcro almost every time — it mates with the loop fields on carriers, helmets and bags, so one set moves between kit.
Can we order a PVC version?
Yes. The keyhole outline and lion head mold well in PVC, which holds up to weather, abrasion and gear wear better than thread.
