About this eagle and arrows investigations diamond
An eagle with a shield and arrows is the oldest shorthand for readiness in American insignia, and on a diamond it takes on a sharper, more specialized look. Tan and black keep the palette subdued for plainclothes work, while gold and red bring just enough color to make the eagle stand out. It's a patch that looks at home on a raid jacket or a detective's vest.
Order it as shown or adjust it: set your agency name and unit designation in the lettering, rename it for a narcotics or major-crimes squad, or stitch it in black and gray for low-visibility work. 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.

Special investigations diamond patch questions
Can the unit lines name a different squad?
Yes. The agency name and both designation lines restitch to your wording — narcotics, major crimes, or any squad name.

Yes. Black and gray or a single tan version keeps the eagle readable on plainclothes vests.
Can our seal replace the eagle?
Yes. Send a photo or PDF of your seal and we redraw it inside the diamond at no art charge.
What size works on a raid jacket back?
About 10 inches tall. The eagle, shield and arrows open up with full detail at that size.

Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the eagle or the lettering, add numbered notes and try another colorway. Your marked version is attached to the quote.
