About this oak tree chief's star
A chief's patch has two jobs: match the department's insignia family and mark the wearer as command. This star handles both — the oak tree and hills read as a hometown landscape every officer recognizes, while the crown at the top point and the dedicated rank line set the chief apart. The oak is a long-standing civic symbol of strength and endurance, a natural fit for the office.
Order it as shown or tailor it: set your department name and motto in the lettering, change the rank line for deputy chiefs and captains, or swap the oak for the tree or landmark on your town seal. 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.

Police chief patch questions
Can the rank line read deputy chief or captain?
Yes. The rank line restitches to any title — chief, deputy chief, captain or command staff — and your 4-hour mockup shows it in place.
Can we order a matching version for patrol officers?
Yes. Quote the chief's star and a version without the rank line together; both run from one approved art file and price at the combined count.
Can the oak tree become our town's landmark?
Yes. Send a photo or your town seal and we redraw the center scene at no art charge, keeping the hills, crown and star outline.
Is a framed presentation version available?
Yes. We stitch the same design at 6 to 8 inches for retirement and promotion gifts; just add the size to your quote request.
How do I send changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the crown or tree, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. The marked version attaches to your quote.
