Municipal Police Anchor Patch — Order This Grey Rectangle Design
Design S1712A at a glance
An anchor with a small badge sits on this rectangular patch, edged in grey. Six short lettering fields carry a municipal line, a police line, an agency line, a place name and two values words. Black, grey and white make it a subdued build by default, suited to carriers and marine gear where a bright patch would be out of place.

About this anchor and badge municipal rectangle
Rectangles are the workhorse shape of tactical and placard patches, and this one pairs that practical format with a simple maritime emblem: an anchor carrying a small badge. The result says waterfront policing without a full harbor scene. Black, grey and white keep it understated, so it suits marine patrol vests, carrier panels and plainclothes harbor details equally well.
Customize it for your agency: put your department name and values in the lettering, redraw the small badge as your own, or order it in navy and gold for a dress version. 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.

Municipal police anchor patch questions
Can the small badge become our own department badge?
Yes. Send a photo or scan of your badge and we redraw it on the anchor at no art charge. The proof shows it before production.
Do we need all six lettering fields?
No. Any of the fields can be dropped or combined, and we rebalance the rectangle so the remaining text stays evenly spaced.
Is there a PVC version for wet gear?
Yes. The same art molds as a PVC rectangle with hook velcro, which holds up better on float coats and boat bags.
What size fits a plate carrier placard?
Around 3.5 by 2 inches. At that size we may shorten the lettering to two or three fields and show the layout on your mockup.
Can we order a full-color version too?
Yes. A navy and gold or black and silver version can be added to the same quote for dress and ceremonial use.
