Design S0916A at a glance
A gold-edged star with a quartered shield at its center — an oak leaf, a patrol car, a key and a sword, one to each quarter — in navy, gold, white and green. The lettering carries a municipal name, police lettering and a three-part motto band. The quarters let a town tell its own story while the star keeps it unmistakably law enforcement.

About this quartered shield star design
A quartered shield is how heraldry fits four ideas into one emblem, and municipal departments have four to fit: the community, the patrol, trust and protection. Here the oak leaf stands for the town, the patrol car for the daily work, the key for public trust and the sword for protection. The star surround keeps it police at a glance, and the green accents add a civic note.
Adapt it to your town: replace the oak leaf with your local tree or landmark, update the patrol car to your current vehicle, and put your own municipality and motto in the lettering. 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 patch questions
Can the patrol car match our current vehicle?
Yes. Send a photo of your patrol car and we redraw the quarter to match its profile and livery colors.
Can the oak leaf be replaced with our town symbol?
Yes — a landmark, building or local plant can take its place, redrawn at no art charge.
Will the star points hold up?
Yes. The hot-cut edge seals the fabric as it's cut, so the points stay crisp through repeated washing.
Can the motto band carry our own words?
Yes. The motto band and the municipal name both restitch to your exact wording.
How do I mark up the quarters?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form to circle each quarter, pin notes and attach reference photos. Your marked-up version goes with the quote.
