About this griffin and scales hexagon police design
The griffin, half eagle and half lion, has guarded treasures in heraldry for centuries, which makes it a fitting guardian for a police unit. Here it holds the scales of justice and lightning, balancing fairness with the power to act. The winding river below grounds the emblem in a place. Keeping the thread to grey, white and black lets every feather and scale pan stay sharp.
Order it as shown or make it your own: set your area, unit and founding year in the lettering, redraw the river as your own landscape, or add one accent color to the scales for a command version. 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.

Scales of justice police patch questions
Can the river become our own landscape?
Yes. Send a photo of your river, lake or hills and we redraw the lower field at no art charge.
Can we add color to this grayscale design?
Yes. A full-color build with a blue river and gold scales is available, or a single accent color if you prefer restraint.
Will the scales stay readable on a small patch?
From about 3.5" tall, yes. Smaller versions get simplified pans on the proof so the stitching stays clean.
Can the lettering name our area and unit?
Yes. Every lettering field restitches to your wording, including the founding year.
How do I mark up changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the griffin, the scales or the river, pin notes and retype lettering. The marked-up hexagon is attached to your quote.
