About this crossed keys and compass rose octagon
Joint task forces cover ground across jurisdictions, and a compass rose says that in one symbol: every direction, every partner. The crossed keys add access and trust, the two things a multi-agency team depends on. The octagon shape is uncommon in police insignia, which helps a task force patch stand apart from the home-agency patches its members also wear.
Build it for your team: put your task force initials and name in the lettering, add the year the team stood up, rename the special operations line, or switch to full color for ceremonies. 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.

Joint task force octagon patch questions
Can partner agency emblems be added?
Yes. Small emblems can sit around the compass rose or on a lower tab, each redrawn from your partners' art at no charge.
Why choose an octagon over a shield?
An octagon looks distinct from the shields most agencies wear, so a task force patch reads as its own unit. It also gives lettering flat edges to follow.
Is this design available in full color?
Yes. Navy and gold or black and gold make a full-color version for dress and ceremonies. Preview it in the markup tool.
What backing do task force members prefer?
Hook-side velcro, so members can switch between task force and home-agency patches on the same carrier or jacket.
How do I mark changes on this octagon?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the keys or compass, pin numbered notes and try colorways. Your marked-up octagon goes with the quote.
