Campus Police Department Patch — Order the Torch & Quill Shield
Design S0716A at a glance
A navy shield stacked like a syllabus of campus heraldry: an open book across the top, a torch and quill crossed beneath it, and a stitched college hall at the base with red flame accents lifting the composition. Institution, division and an integrity motto fill the bands. It is the most emblem-complete campus layout in the catalog — every symbol a college crest uses, in one patch.

About this torch, quill and college hall design
Stacking emblems risks clutter, and this layout avoids it by ranking them: the book runs full-width at top as a header, the torch-and-quill cross carries the middle at the focal point, and the hall grounds the base in architecture. Red flame accents appear exactly twice, which is enough to warm the navy-gold scheme without tipping it toward fire-service colors. The result reads ordered, which is the point for a police division.
Order it as composed or rework the stack: wording bands and motto restitch, the hall redraws to your campus's signature building, and any emblem in the stack can swap for one from your institution's seal. 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.

Who orders this design

Departments splitting sworn police from public-safety staff run the same art with different band wording. Orders typically pair duty shoulders with soft-shell versions for orientation and event season.

Campus police department patch questions
Can the building be our actual campus hall?
Yes — one clear photo is enough to redraw the base architecture to your building's profile at no art charge, confirmed on the proof.
Can sworn and non-sworn staff share this design?
Yes. The band wording distinguishes police from public safety over identical art, ordered together in one run.
Do the red flame accents have to stay?
No — they can recolor to your school's accent, reduce to gold, or come out; the mockup previews each option.
Which emblems can swap for our seal's symbols?
Any of the three — book, torch-and-quill, or hall — can yield to a laurel, lamp, key or element from your official seal.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle emblems, pin numbered notes, attach your hall photo — everything rides with the quote.
Looking for a different patch, or a different starting point?
This page covers one emblem-stacked campus shield. For leaner layouts, the police patch formats past the torch and quill stack — single-emblem shields and stars shows simpler options.
