Design S1791A at a glance
A custom-cut patch edged in tan merrowing, with a bloodhound head, a boot print and pine trees on a dark green field. Three lettering elements surround the art: a K9 unit line, an established-year line and a two-word motto. Brown and tan thread give the bloodhound's long ears and wrinkles plenty of depth.

About this bloodhound boot print and pine design
Bloodhounds are the specialists of police tracking, and this design tells their story in three pieces: the dog, the boot print it is following and the woods where the trail leads. The dark green field and tan edge keep the palette firmly in the outdoors. Its custom outline gives the patch a distinctive silhouette on the sleeve, different from the shields and rounds most departments wear.
Order it as shown or adapt it: your unit name in the first line, your own founding year, a different motto, or the pines redrawn as desert brush or farmland. 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.

Bloodhound police patch questions
Can the bloodhound be redrawn as our own dog?
Yes. Send a photo and we redraw the head with your hound's coloring at no art charge. The mockup shows the portrait before production.
Can the motto and year change?
Yes. All three lettering elements restitch to your wording.
How big should the patch be?
4 inches is the standard shoulder size and keeps the bloodhound's ears and wrinkles detailed.
Can we swap the pine trees for another landscape?
Yes. We can redraw them as desert brush, farmland or mountains to match your area.
What is the best backing for search vests?
Hook-side velcro, so the patch can move between vests. Sew-on is best for uniform shirts.
