Campus Police Shoulder Patch — Order This Griffin and Book Badge
Design S0957A at a glance
A navy badge-shaped cut with a gold edge, built around a griffin with a branch, a row of campus buildings and a book: guardian, institution and learning in one emblem. Lettering holds the school name, a campus police line, a monogram initial, an established year, a service line and a public safety division line. Two colors keep the whole thing crisp at shoulder size.

About this griffin and campus buildings badge
University police departments sit between two worlds, and their patches usually show it. This badge borrows its silhouette from law enforcement and its emblem from academic heraldry: the griffin is a classic guardian figure, the campus buildings place it on a particular kind of ground, and the book makes the mission plain. Navy and gold echo colors many schools already use.
Order it as drawn or adapt it to your campus: your school name, your own founding year, the monogram set to your initial, or your actual campus skyline redrawn from a photo. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — proof within 6–12 hours, production after your approval.

Campus police shoulder patch questions
Can the buildings be redrawn as our campus?
Yes. Send photos of your main buildings or skyline and we redraw them in the same position at no art charge. Your proof shows the result before anything stitches.
Can the griffin be replaced with our mascot?
Yes. Your school mascot or crest can take the griffin’s place; send any file or photo and we redraw it stitch-ready.
Can the patch use our school colors instead of navy and gold?
Yes. Field, border and thread all change freely. Preview colorways in the markup tool and your quote will reference the version you pick.
What does the monogram letter stand for?
It is a placeholder initial. We restitch it to your school’s initial or remove it, along with every other lettering line.
What is the minimum for a campus department?
Ten patches. Small college departments often order 25 to 50 to cover current officers and new hires through the year.
