State Patrol K9 Patch — Order This Wolf Head and Cross Badge Design
Design S1757A at a glance
A badge-shaped patch with a tan edge, showing a wolf head set over a cross. Four lettering elements surround it: a set of initials, a K-9 unit name, a state patrol line and an established year. Tan, khaki and brown keep the whole design in a muted desert palette that blends with field uniforms and tactical gear alike.

About this wolf head and cross K9 badge
The wolf is a natural stand-in for a working dog — pack-loyal, tireless and built for tracking — and setting its head over a cross gives the emblem a protective, badge-like structure. Because the design is stitched entirely in earth tones, it works on a state patrol duty shirt and a K9 harness without a separate subdued version. That single-palette approach also keeps the order simpler for small units.
Order it as shown or adjust it: put your unit initials and name in the lettering, change the state patrol line to highway patrol or troop, redraw the wolf as your own K9's breed, or raise the contrast with a navy field. 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.

State patrol K9 patch questions
Can the wolf be replaced with our K9's breed?
Yes. Send a photo of your dog and we redraw the head as a shepherd, malinois, bloodhound or any breed over the cross, at no art charge.
Can our unit initials and name go in the lettering?
Yes. All four lettering elements — initials, unit name, patrol line and year — restitch to your wording, and the 4-hour mockup shows them in place.
Do we need a separate subdued version?
Usually not. The tan, khaki and brown palette already works on coyote and desert kit. For a darker night-work version, preview it in the markup tool.
What size works on a dog harness?
Two to three inches tall with hook-side velcro fits most harness side panels. The proof simplifies the lettering at that size so it stays legible.
How do I request changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the wolf or cross, pin notes on the lettering and try colorways. The marked version attaches to your quote.
