About this bloodhound trail and magnifier badge
Tracking is part detective work and part nose, and this badge says both with a bloodhound working a trail and a magnifying glass beside it. The tracking pose shows the dog at work rather than posing, which suits support units that spend their days on searches and evidence recovery. The badge outline keeps it looking like official insignia, and the earth-tone palette works on field and patrol uniforms alike.
Order it as shown or make changes: your department name in the top line, the unit line renamed for search or support, or the magnifying glass swapped for a paw print. 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 tracking dog patch questions
Can the bloodhound become a different breed?
Yes. We can redraw it as a shepherd, Lab or any trailing breed at no art charge.
Can the tracking line change?
Yes. All three lettering elements restitch to your wording, so it can read trailing, search, or any title you use.
What does the magnifying glass represent?
It pairs the dog's tracking work with investigation. You can keep it, or swap it for a paw print or compass.
What size works on a search vest?
3.5 to 4 inches with hook-side velcro fits most vest panels.
Is a subdued version available?
Yes. The design converts to coyote, OD green or blackout thread for tactical vests.
