About this book, quill and laurel college design
Community college police departments serve commuters, evening students and staff across campuses that rarely look like a traditional quad, so the patch has to say college clearly. The open book and quill do that in one glance, the monogram ties it to the institution, and the laurel wreath adds the ceremonial weight of a sworn department. Royal blue and gold sit close to many schools' colors, so recoloring is often minimal.
Order it as shown or adapt it: set your college name, initials and motto in the lettering, update the year, swap royal blue for your school color, or replace the monogram with your college seal. 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.

Community college police patch questions
Can our college initials go on the book?
Yes. Send your initials or college logo and we redraw the monogram on the open book at no art charge; the 4-hour mockup shows it inside the laurel wreath.
Can all six lettering elements be changed?
Yes. Town, college, initials, department line, year and motto all restitch to your wording. Longer names may move to a curved top line on the proof.
Can we use our school colors?
Yes. Swap royal blue and gold for any school palette; preview each version in the markup tool and quote the one you prefer.
Will the quill stay crisp at shoulder size?
Yes, at 4 inches and up. Below that the proof thickens the quill slightly so it stitches cleanly next to the book.
How do I show you our changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the book or quill, pin notes on any lettering element and switch colorways. The marked version attaches to your quote.
