About this police dive rescue helmet and anchor design
Police rescue units that work the water need a patch that says so at a glance, and a diving helmet, life ring and anchor cover it completely: underwater search, surface rescue and the boat. The rectangle is a practical choice, sitting flat on gear bags and above shirt pockets. Green and red give it an unusual palette that stands out among navy unit patches.
Order it with your department, unit line and founding year, swap the anchor for your boat silhouette, or recolor the green to navy to match your department colors. 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.

Police dive rescue patch questions
Can we put our boat on the patch?
Yes. Send a photo of your boat and we redraw it in place of the anchor or alongside it, stitch-ready at no art charge.
Which material holds up on wet dive gear?
PVC, since it does not absorb water. Embroidered rectangles work for shirts and jackets, and both builds can share a single quote.
Can the rectangle become a round or shield?
Yes. The helmet, ring and anchor move cleanly into other shapes if your department standard calls for one.
Can we change the founding year and unit line?
Yes. All lettering restitches to your wording — rescue unit, dive team, marine unit or any other designation.
How do I request edits to the layout?
Pin notes on the helmet, ring or lettering in the quote form markup tool and switch colorways as you go; the marked version travels with your request.
Outfitting the rest of the department?
A dive rescue rectangle covers the water side of policing. The police unit layouts beyond this diving-helmet rescue rectangle include patrol shields, K9 badges and specialty unit stars. For PVC versus embroidery on gear that stays wet, the patch guide pricing a green dive rescue rectangle in PVC compares both builds with backing options.
