About this eagle, torch and K9 task force shield
Narcotics task forces pull officers from several agencies, so their insignia tends to be busier than a single department's, and this shield embraces that. The eagle and scales cover authority and justice, the torch and compass cover guidance and reach, and the K9 credits the detection teams. Silver-led thread on navy keeps it low-key for plainclothes work.
Adapt it before you order: set your task force name and acronym, reword the interdiction line, drop an element if the shield feels crowded at your size, or redraw the K9 as your detection breed. 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.

Narcotics task force patch questions
Can the acronym line carry our task force initials?
Yes. The acronym, task force name and interdiction line all restitch to your exact wording; the proof shows every line before production.
Is the emblem too busy for a small patch?
At 4.5 inches it reads clearly. For smaller sizes we can drop the torch or compass on your proof so the eagle and K9 stay sharp — you approve it first.
Can partner agencies get their own versions?
Yes. Keep the emblem and change one lettering line per agency; all versions share the same quantity break on one quote.
Is there a subdued version?
Yes. Blackout, wolf gray and coyote builds work well for raid vests and carriers — preview each in the markup tool.
How do I request changes to this shield?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle elements to drop or swap, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. Your markup attaches to the quote.
