A capitol dome and a gavel sit inside a six-point star on this octagon, edged in gold merrow. Three lettering fields carry an agency line, an investigations line and a unit line. Grey and copper give it a metallic, badge-like tone, with navy and white rounding out a palette that reads well on suits and raid jackets.

About this capitol dome and gavel investigations octagon
Investigative units answer to the courts as much as to the street, and this design says so: a capitol dome for government authority and a gavel for the judicial process, framed by a six-point star. The copper and grey palette is unusual for police insignia and reads like an engraved badge. The octagon frame gives the patch a squared, official look suited to statewide and prosecutor-led investigative units.
Order it with your agency and unit lines in the lettering, redraw the dome as your own statehouse or courthouse, or switch copper to gold for a dress version. 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.

Law enforcement investigations patch questions
Can the capitol dome match our own building?
Yes. Send a photo of your statehouse, courthouse or headquarters and we redraw it inside the star at no art charge.
Can copper be swapped for gold?
Yes. Gold or silver can replace copper throughout, and your mockup can show both side by side.
Is this design suitable for court security units?
Yes. The dome and gavel suit judicial and court units, and the lettering lines restitch to your unit name.
What size works on a polo chest?
3 inches across. At that size we may trim one lettering line so the star stays clear, and you approve it on the proof.
Can we add a badge number or division name?
Yes. A fourth line can be added for a division or badge number, and the octagon layout is rebalanced on your proof.
