Design S1785A at a glance

A black shield with a gold merrowed edge, centered on a star carrying a three-letter unit monogram. A magnifying glass and evidence tools sit with the star, and lettering runs across four elements — a city line, the monogram, a police line and a crime scene unit line. Gold and white thread on black gives the investigative motifs a crisp, formal finish.

About this crime scene magnifier and star shield

Crime scene units rarely get insignia that reflects their work, and this shield fixes that. The magnifying glass and evidence tools say forensics at a glance, while the star and monogram keep it unmistakably police. Black, gold and white is a restrained palette that looks right on a lab coat as well as a field jacket, and the monogram gives the unit a short, recognizable mark of its own.

Order it as shown or tailor it to your unit: your city or department in the top line, your own unit initials on the star, or the unit line renamed for forensics, evidence or identification. 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 crime scene patch questions

Can the monogram show our unit's initials?

Yes. The star's monogram restitches to any two- to four-letter abbreviation, and the mockup shows the exact lettering.

Can this patch be ironed onto lab coats?

Yes. Iron-on backing bonds well to cotton and poly-cotton lab coats; sew-on is better for heavy jackets.

Can the evidence tools change?

Yes. We can redraw them as a fingerprint, camera, evidence marker or other tool your unit uses.

What size works for a lab coat chest?

3 to 3.5 inches tall works well on a chest; 4 inches is standard for the shoulder.

Can we order separate runs for different units?

Yes. Many departments order crime scene, evidence and identification versions with different unit lines on one quote.
