About this anchor and compass rose police design
Port and lakefront cities often want insignia that says waterfront before it says anything else, and an anchor does that instantly. This round pairs it with a compass rose and a skyline, so the patch carries both maritime heritage and a modern downtown, while the laurel wreath adds ceremony. Black framing makes the light blue and gold pop on dark or light uniform shirts.
Customize it for your department: your city name and motto in the lettering, your own skyline redrawn from a photo, or a marine-unit version with a different division title. 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.

Anchor police patch questions
Can the skyline be redrawn as our own city?
Yes. Send a photo of your downtown or waterfront and we simplify it to its key buildings, stitch-ready, at no art charge.
Can we make a marine unit version from the same art?
Yes. Change the department title to Marine Unit or Harbor Patrol and order both runs in one quote; the anchor, compass and wreath stay identical.
Can the motto change?
Yes. The motto and city-name lettering restitch to your exact wording, and the 4-hour mockup shows them set around the wreath.
What diameter suits a police sleeve?
Three and a half to four inches covers most uniform sleeves. At that size the compass points and skyline windows stay distinct.
How do I send edits?
Use the markup tool here: circle the skyline, pin a note on the motto, and preview a navy or black colorway. Your marked-up round is attached to the quote.
