Police Maritime Unit Patch — Order This Crowned Lighthouse Design
Design S1751A at a glance
A black custom-cut patch edged in gold merrow, centered on a lighthouse and a setting sun beneath a crown. Three lettering lines carry the unit name, a set of initials and a coastal patrol callout. Gold and white on black keep it high-contrast on the water, where a patch is often seen from a moving boat.

About this crowned lighthouse maritime design
A crown over a lighthouse is old maritime heraldry — the mark of an authority that keeps the coast — which is why it suits a police unit that works the water rather than the street. The setting sun nods to the evening shifts most marine patrols actually run. Holding the palette to black, gold and white means the patch reads clearly on a dark boat jacket and stitches cleanly at cap size.
Order it as shown or make it yours: put your marine unit's name and initials in the lettering, change the coastal patrol line to lake or river patrol, or swap black for navy to match your boat uniforms. 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.

Who orders this design
Police marine units, lake patrol teams and port security details order this crowned lighthouse for boat crews and dockside officers. Departments that patrol a lake or reservoir only in summer often order a small run each season for new seasonal officers. Velcro-backed versions are the common pick because they move between flotation vests and jackets.

Police maritime unit patch questions
Can our unit name and initials replace the lettering?
Yes. The unit name line, the initials line and the patrol line all restitch to your wording, and your 4-hour mockup shows the exact text set around the lighthouse.
Can the crown be removed or replaced?
Yes. Drop it for a clean lighthouse-and-sun scene, or swap it for your department star, an anchor or a ship's wheel. Your proof shows the change before anything is stitched.
Does this patch hold up on wet gear?
Embroidered patches survive normal boat use, but crews that live in spray often add a PVC version of the same art for flotation vests and dive bags.
Can we order a lake patrol version?
Yes. Change the coastal patrol line to lake, river or reservoir patrol; the lighthouse and setting sun still suit any shoreline unit.
How do I send design changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the crown, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. The marked-up file attaches to your quote automatically.
Comparing other marine and patrol patches?
One crowned lighthouse is a single starting point. The police patch lineup that runs alongside this crowned lighthouse and setting sun covers patrol shields, K9 stars and specialty units.
