Police Emergency Services Patch — Order This Elk and Lightning Design
Design S1831A at a glance
A navy-merrowed custom cut in navy, white and royal blue, centered on an elk head set over a pair of crossed lightning bolts. Lettering names the department, the emergency services unit and a rapid-response tagline. The elk brings strength and the bolts bring speed, which is exactly the message a unit answering rescues, barricades and specialized calls wants on its sleeve.

About this elk and lightning emergency services design
Emergency services units handle what a patrol car can’t: heavy rescue, high-angle work, barricaded subjects and water calls. Their patches tend to borrow a strong animal and a symbol of speed, and this one pairs an antlered elk with crossed lightning. Keeping to blues and white gives it a clean, cold look, and the rack of antlers forms a natural crown over the bolts.
Customize it for your unit: put your department and unit designation in the lettering, redraw the elk as a bull moose, ram or bear, or turn the bolts gold for supervisors. 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 emergency services patch questions
Can the elk be replaced with another animal?
Yes. Moose, bighorn, bear or wolf all redraw over the bolts at no art charge — send a reference and the proof shows the swap.
Can the lettering carry our unit designation?
Yes. All three lettering lines restitch to your department, unit name and tagline exactly as you type them.
Will the antlers stay sharp at helmet-bag size?
At 3" we simplify the tines slightly on your proof so they stitch cleanly. Above 3.5" the rack stays as drawn.
Is a subdued version available for tactical kit?
Yes. Blackout, wolf gray and OD green builds keep the elk and bolts in low-contrast thread. Preview each in the markup tool.
How do we send our changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the elk, pin notes on the bolts and retype the lettering. The marked-up patch is attached to your quote.
Need a different response-unit or police patch?
