Police Department Skyline Patch — Order This Keystone Star Badge
Design S1787A at a glance
A badge-shaped cut with a royal blue merrowed border, carrying a star set in front of a keystone and a city skyline. Three lettering elements frame it: a city line, a police department line and a two-word motto. Royal blue, white and grey keep the palette clean and civic, the look of a standard-issue shoulder patch.

About this keystone and skyline police department badge
A keystone holds an arch together, and on a police patch it makes a quiet point about the department's role in its city. Here it sits behind a star with the skyline rising behind both, so the design reads as a municipal department rather than a specialty unit. The royal blue palette is bright enough for daytime patrol yet formal enough for dress uniforms.
Order it as shown or make it yours: your city name in the top line, your own motto in the lower line, or the skyline redrawn from a photo of your downtown. 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 department skyline patch questions
Can you put our own skyline on the patch?
Yes. Send a photo of your downtown and we redraw it behind the keystone at no art charge. The proof shows it before production.
Can the motto change?
Yes. The motto line and city line both restitch to your exact wording.
What does the keystone represent?
The keystone is the stone that locks an arch in place, a common symbol of a department's central role. It can also carry a number or initials if you prefer.
Can we order a dress version and a field version?
Yes. Many departments order full color for dress uniforms and a subdued gray version for carriers on one quote.
How many patches should a department order?
Most departments order two per officer plus spares for new hires. The minimum is 10, and pricing drops as quantity rises.
