Municipal Police Department Patch — Order This Griffin Archway Octagon
Design S0962A at a glance
An eight-sided patch in navy with a gold edge, centered on a griffin with an archway, worked in gold and silver. Lettering is limited to three lines — a city name, a municipal police line and a protect-and-serve motto — so the emblem carries the design. The octagon cut stands out on a sleeve full of shields.

About this griffin and archway octagon
An octagon is an unusual choice for a police shoulder patch, and that is its strength: it is instantly distinct without looking like a novelty. The griffin, half eagle and half lion, has long stood for vigilance and guardianship, and pairing it with an archway suggests a gateway into the city the department protects. Navy, gold and silver keep the look formal.
Order it as drawn or design your version: your city name, a department or bureau line, your own motto, or a local gate, bridge or landmark in place of the archway. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order; proof in 6–12 hours, production after your approval.

Municipal police department patch questions
Can the archway become our city’s landmark?
Yes. Send a photo of your gate, bridge, monument or city hall entrance and we redraw it with the griffin at no art charge.
Is an octagon practical for a shoulder patch?
Yes. Its straight sides take a merrowed edge cleanly and it sits well on a sleeve. It prices the same as a standard shield.
Can we change the motto?
Yes. The protect-and-serve line restitches to any motto, and the city and department lines take your exact wording.
Can the griffin be swapped for our seal?
Yes. Your existing seal or emblem can take the griffin’s place, redrawn stitch-ready from any file or photo.
What does the subdued version look like?
The griffin and archway stitch in a single contrast thread on tan, OD green, wolf gray or blackout twill. Preview each in the markup tool before quoting.
Searching for another municipal shape?
This octagon is one municipal option. The department patch layouts beyond this griffin archway octagon cover patrol shields, K9 diamonds and campus badges. If you are weighing embroidered against woven or PVC, the patch ordering guide for a griffin-and-archway octagon build explains each style and its pricing.
