Design S1838A at a glance
A black-bordered custom cut in black, grey, silver and white. A six-point star is overlaid with linked network nodes and set over a gear, joining the badge to the machinery of computing. Two lettering lines name the cyber-crime unit and its data forensics and analysis role, giving investigators a patch that looks as technical as their casework.

About this network star and gear cyber unit design
Digital investigators spend more time at workstations than in cruisers, and their insignia should say so. This design keeps the familiar six-point star but threads network nodes across it, then sets it over a gear to signal the hardware side of the work. The monochrome palette of black, grey, silver and white looks at home on lab polos and still reads as law enforcement on a raid vest.
Order it as shown or customize it: set your unit and role in the lettering, add a single blue or green accent to the nodes, or replace the gear with a circuit or padlock to suit your mission. 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.

Digital forensics unit patch questions
Can we add a color accent to the network nodes?
Yes. Blue, green or any single accent color can be added to the nodes, and the proof shows the result before production.
Will the network lines survive at small sizes?
At 3.5" and above, yes. For smaller patches we recommend woven construction, which holds fine lines more crisply.
Can the unit and role lines change?
Yes. Both lettering lines restitch to your exact wording, from unit name to specialty.
Can the gear become a padlock or circuit?
Yes. We redraw the background symbol to suit your mission at no art charge.
How do I mark up the design?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the star or the gear, retype the lettering and pin notes. The marked-up version is attached to your quote.
Comparing cyber insignia with other police patches?
A network star suits investigators who work at keyboards; patrol, K9 and traffic units use other outlines. The police patch catalog beside this network-node star and gear shows every shape we stitch for departments. If you are weighing embroidered against woven for fine linework, the custom patch hub that walks a monochrome network star patch through materials sets out the trade-offs and pricing.
