University Police Lighthouse Patch — Order This Book and Swords Round
Design S0853A at a glance
A gold-bordered round in maroon, navy and gold with a lighthouse set on an open book and a pair of crossed swords. The lettering frames it with the institution name, a founding year, a short motto and a police department line. The book says campus and the lighthouse says guidance; both redraw to your school's own symbols.

About this lighthouse and open book campus round
Campus police patches have to do two jobs at once: look like real law enforcement insignia and still feel like part of the school. This round handles both. The open book and lighthouse borrow the academic seal tradition, the crossed swords add the enforcement edge, and maroon with navy reads as school colors without leaning on any one institution's palette.
Adapt it before you order: set your university or college name and founding year, reword the motto, recolor the maroon and navy to your school colors, or swap the lighthouse for your campus landmark or mascot. 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
University and college police departments order this round for sworn officers, while campus security and parking teams often take the same art with a different department line. Schools near the coast tend to keep the lighthouse; inland campuses swap it for a clock tower or library dome. Commencement and orientation details often add caps.

University police lighthouse patch questions
Can the colors match our school colors?
Yes. Send your school's color codes or a logo file and we match the thread as closely as embroidery allows; the proof shows the recolored round.
Can the lighthouse become our campus landmark?
Yes. A clock tower, library dome, gate or mascot can replace it — send a photo and we redraw it on the book at no art charge.
Can security and parking staff get matching versions?
Yes. Change only the department line for each team; all versions count toward one combined quantity on a single quote.
Is woven better for the open-book detail?
If your book has fine page lines or text, a woven build reproduces them more sharply at the same minimum; we flag it on your mockup if it helps.
How do I request changes to this round?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the lighthouse, pin notes on the lettering, switch colorways. Your markup attaches to the quote.
