College Police Patch — Order This Torch and Book Design
Design S0429A at a glance
A two-color scalloped round — navy and white with silver linework — where a torch stands on an open book in front of the college's own buildings. The restraint reads as established rather than flashy, closer to a seal than a shield. Your actual quad replaces the generic buildings, the ring restitches to your institution, and the founding year drops below the book.

About this college torch and book design
The two-color limit is this patch's quiet strength. Navy and white with silver linework gives a college department the look of an institution that has nothing to prove — and it embroiders economically, since fewer thread changes mean cleaner small-batch runs. The torch-on-book center is the oldest academic shorthand there is, and the campus skyline behind it anchors the symbolism to a real place.
The usual commission: a photo of your administration building or clock tower becomes the skyline, the ring takes the college name, and the lower arc carries the founding year or 'CAMPUS SAFETY'. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — stitch-ready proof within 6–12 hours, and nothing is produced before you approve it.

Who orders this design
Community college police, small private-college safety departments, and district-wide campus security programs order this seal round. Multi-campus districts like it because per-campus ring text on shared art keeps every site's patch consistent. Most orders run 4-inch sew-on with a smaller cap-size add-on.

College police patch questions
Can our clock tower be the skyline?
Yes — one photo is all we need. We redraw your building line behind the torch at no art charge, and the proof shows it before production begins.
We're a three-campus district — one design or three?
One art, three ring texts. All three versions order under one quote and price at the combined quantity, which usually moves you a full tier down.
Can this stay strictly two colors to match our seal?
Yes — the design is built for it. Two-color runs also stitch the cleanest, so your seal's restraint works in your favor.
What size for parking enforcement polos?
3 to 3.5 inches iron-on is typical for polos — small enough for a chest placement, still readable across a parking structure.
How do we submit our seal or existing patch for rework?
Attach a photo or scan in the quote form, or mark changes directly on this design with the markup tool. Either way a stitch-accurate mockup comes back within 4 hours.

Reading further than one seal?
If a seal round isn't the direction, the assortment of police shields, stars and rockers by division shows every other shape campus and municipal agencies wear. Budget and build questions live on the patch ordering overview with materials and volume tiers — worth a look before the committee meets.
