Campus Police Diamond Patch — Order This Lamp and Arch Design
Design S0881A at a glance
A navy diamond with a gold edge, framing a stone arch that shelters a lamp and a book, with crossed keys completing the emblem. Four lettering lines carry the institution name, a combined security and police line, a founding year and a motto, and gold and grey on navy give it the collegiate weight of a seal.

About this lamp, book and arch diamond design
Campus departments want insignia that belongs to the institution as much as to law enforcement, and this diamond leans academic on purpose. The lamp and book are the oldest symbols of learning, the stone arch suggests a campus gate, and the crossed keys put the officers in charge of keeping it open and safe. Turning the patch on its point gives it a silhouette no city shield shares.
Make it match your campus: put your institution and department name in the lettering, set your founding year, or redraw the arch after your own landmark gate. 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.

Campus police diamond patch questions
Can the lettering show our institution and department?
Yes. Institution name, department line, founding year and motto all restitch to your wording, set in the proof before production.
Can we use our school colors instead of navy?
Yes. Any field and accent colors stitch at no extra cost — try your school palette in the markup tool and the quote references it.
Can the arch look like our own campus gate?
Yes. Send a photo of your gate, tower or hall and we redraw it in place of the stone arch at no art charge.
Do you make a separate version for security staff?
Yes. Order the same diamond with a security-only line for non-sworn staff; the proof shows both versions side by side.
How do I mark up this design?
Use the markup tool in the quote form — circle the arch, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. Your markup attaches automatically when you request a quote.
