About this harbor police anchor round design
Waterfront policing has its own visual language, and the anchor is its strongest symbol. Here the rope adds a working-boat feel while the star marks the design unmistakably as law enforcement. Navy with silver detail is the classic maritime pairing — it looks right on a boat crew's jacket and on a dock-side duty uniform alike.
Adapt it to your port: put your district and unit names in the lettering, switch silver to gold for a dress version, or add a vessel number below the anchor. 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.

Harbor police patch questions
Will the patch stand up to salt spray and sun?
Yes. We stitch with colorfast polyester thread that resists UV and salt exposure, and velcro-backed patches come off before a wash.
Can we add a boat or unit number?
Yes. A unit or vessel number can sit under the anchor or in the lettering ring. Your 4-hour mockup shows it placed.
Can this design be made in PVC for wet gear?
Yes. The same art molds as a PVC patch, which won't absorb water and suits PFDs, dive bags and deck jackets.
Is gold available instead of silver?
Yes. Gold merrowed edging plus gold metallic thread on the anchor and star turns this into a dress version.
What size fits a float coat?
3.5" to 4" on the sleeve, or up to 10" on the back panel. Velcro backing lets one patch move between coats.
