Campus Police Officer Patch — Order This Atom and Torch Shield
Design S0971A at a glance
A navy shield with a maroon edge, carrying an atom over an open book with a torch in cream and gold. Lettering carries a university name, an established year, a three-word Latin motto and a campus police division line. The atom is an unusual choice for police insignia, which is exactly what makes it memorable for a science-minded school.

About this atom, book and torch shield
Technical institutes and research universities often feel a standard police seal says nothing about the place it protects. This shield fixes that with an atom over an open book, a clear nod to science and scholarship, and a torch for knowledge passed on. Navy and maroon with cream and gold make a collegiate palette that still works on a duty uniform.
Customize it: your university name and founding year, your own Latin or English motto, a division line of your choosing, or a gear, microscope or other emblem in place of the atom. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order; proof in 6–12 hours, production after your approval.

Campus police officer patch questions
Can the atom be replaced with another symbol?
Yes. A gear, microscope, DNA helix or your school crest can take its place, redrawn at no art charge.
Can we use our own motto?
Yes. Your motto restitches letter for letter, in Latin or English, and you approve the spelling on the proof.
Does the maroon border work on navy uniforms?
Yes. Maroon frames the navy field well; if you prefer more contrast, gold is an easy swap.
What size should we order for caps?
About 2.5 to 3 inches. The orbits and torch are simplified slightly at that size on your proof.
Can we see the design in our school colors first?
Yes. Use the markup tool to switch colorways, or note your colors in the quote form and your 4-hour mockup will show them.
