Police Gang Unit Patch — Order This Silver Star Octagon Design
Design S1126A at a glance
A black-edged octagon in royal blue, white, silver and red, centered on a silver star set over a blue shield. Lettering carries the department name, a gang unit title, a police department line and an established year, and each one restitches to yours. The eight-sided cut is the giveaway: specialty units wear it so their patch never gets confused with the standard department shoulder patch.

About this silver star octagon gang unit design
Gang enforcement and street crimes units tend to want insignia that look serious and stay simple, and an octagon delivers both. The silver star on a blue shield keeps the badge language familiar, while the black merrowed edge and eight flat sides give the patch a harder outline than a round. Royal blue, white and silver with a touch of red read clearly on dark vests and raid jackets.
Order it as shown or change it: put your department and unit title in the lettering, retitle the unit as street crimes or violent crimes, or run it in blackout for plainclothes use. 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.

Police gang unit patch questions
Can the unit title read street crimes or violent crimes?
Yes. The unit line restitches to any title, and the department name, police line and year can all change — your mockup shows the new wording.
Is there a blackout version for plainclothes work?
Yes. The octagon embroiders in blackout, wolf gray, OD green or coyote with tonal lettering; preview each in the markup tool.
Can the star match our department badge?
Yes. Send a photo of your badge and we redraw the star and shield to match it at no art charge.
What backing should we order for carriers?
Hook-side velcro. It mates with the loop fields on carriers and raid jackets, so one set of patches moves between kit.
How do I send changes for this octagon?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the star, pin notes on the lettering and switch to a subdued colorway. The marked-up octagon attaches to your quote.
