Town Police Department Patch — Order This Cedar and Star Shield
Design S0963A at a glance
A green shield with a tan edge, built around a cedar tree and a star badge in tan and white. The lettering stays minimal — a town name, a police department line and an established year — so the cedar does the talking. The earthy palette sets it apart from the navy-and-gold patches most departments wear.

About this cedar and star badge shield
Green and tan say forest, foothill or rural town before a word is read, which makes this shield a natural fit for departments whose communities are defined by their landscape. The cedar is an evergreen symbol of endurance, and setting a star badge with it ties that permanence to the department itself. White details lift the emblem off the green field so it reads at a distance.
Customize it to your town: your name and department line, your own established year, or a pine, oak or local landmark in place of the cedar. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — proof within 6–12 hours, production after your approval.

Town police department patch questions
Can the cedar become a different tree?
Yes. Pine, oak, palm or any species your town is known for redraws in the same position at no art charge.
Can the patch keep the green and tan but add our seal?
Yes. Your seal can replace the star badge or sit alongside the cedar, redrawn stitch-ready from any file.
What year goes in the established line?
Your department’s founding year, or your town’s incorporation date if you prefer. It restitches to any date.
Is a tan border visible on a green uniform?
It is, but if your shirts are green we can switch the border to gold or black for more contrast. Preview options in the markup tool.
How small can this patch go?
About 2.5 inches for caps. The cedar and star are simplified slightly at that size on your proof.
