Police Traffic Safety Patch — Order This Celtic Knot Monogram Oval
Design S1702A at a glance
A royal blue oval edged in gold merrow, with a shield at center holding a single Celtic knot monogram letter and a pair of crossed keys. Four lettering fields carry the department name, a founding year, a two-word motto and a traffic safety unit line. With only two colors in play, the knotwork stays crisp and the gold reads like dress-uniform brass.

About this Celtic knot monogram traffic oval
Knotwork monograms come from heraldry rather than modern police graphics, which is exactly why this oval stands apart on a motor officer's sleeve. The interlaced letter sits on a shield with crossed keys, a classic symbol of trust and access. Holding the palette to royal blue and gold gives the patch a ceremonial look while keeping embroidery clean at helmet and collar sizes.
Order it with your own initial woven into the knot, your department name and year in the lettering, and a different unit name in place of the traffic line if you want the design for patrol or another division. 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 traffic safety patch questions
Can the Celtic knot monogram use our department's initial?
Yes. We redraw the knotwork around any letter, or around two interlocked initials, at no art charge. Your proof shows the new monogram inside the shield before production.
Can we use this oval for a division other than traffic?
Yes. The unit line restitches to patrol, motor, investigations or any other division, so one design can serve several units with only the bottom line changing.
Will two colors look too plain on a dark uniform?
Royal blue and gold have strong contrast, and the gold merrowed edge frames the oval on navy or black shirts. If you want more color, we can add white to the lettering and show both on your mockup.
What size works on a motor helmet?
2.5 to 3 inches tall. At that size we thicken the knotwork strands slightly so the interlace survives embroidery, and you approve that change on the proof.
Can the founding year be larger for an anniversary run?
Yes. We can enlarge the year line, add an anniversary callout, or switch the gold to metallic thread for a commemorative order.
