Ace of Spades Police Patch — Order This Dagger and Snake Narcotics Design
Design S1839A at a glance
An olive-bordered custom cut in olive, dark green and khaki, built on an ace of spades. A dagger with a coiled snake runs through the center, joined by a crescent moon and a set of vials. Lettering carries the unit’s initials and its gang-and-narcotics role. The palette is subdued from the start, so the patch wears quietly on plainclothes vests and carrier panels.

About this dagger and ace of spades narcotics design
Gang and narcotics teams favor emblems with an edge, and the ace of spades has been a symbol of nerve and luck for generations of soldiers and street units. Here it frames a dagger with a coiled snake for the threats officers face, a crescent moon for night work and vials for the drug side of the caseload. Olive, dark green and khaki keep it as quiet as plainclothes work demands.
Make it your team’s own: set your unit initials and role in the lettering, swap the vials for handcuffs or a set of scales, or run the spade in black for a darker look on carriers. 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.

Ace of spades police patch questions
Can the initials on the spade change to ours?
Yes. Send your unit initials or abbreviation and we restitch them in place at no art charge.
Is this patch subdued enough for plainclothes work?
Yes. The olive, dark green and khaki palette is already low-profile; a black-on-black build drops it further.
Can we replace the vials with another symbol?
Yes. Handcuffs, a badge or a set of scales can take their place, redrawn at no art charge.
What size fits a plate carrier panel?
About 3" x 3.5" with hook-side velcro fits most carrier loop panels; we size the proof to your panel if you note it.
How do I send changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the dagger, the moon or the vials, pin notes and pick a colorway. The marked-up spade travels with your quote.
