About this handcuffs and compass star patrol design
Patrol officers are the backbone of any department, and their patch should be as straightforward as their work. This round puts a pair of handcuffs on a compass star, a design that says enforcement and readiness in a single glance. Grey, navy and white keep it understated and easy to match with standard patrol uniforms, and the round shape sits evenly on any sleeve.
Customize it freely: set your agency name and patrol line in the lettering, add your city seal behind the compass star, or recolor the star gold for sergeants and field supervisors. 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.
