Design S1770A at a glance
A shield with a black merrowed edge, centered on a police badge carrying a compass star, framed by a laurel wreath. The lettering names the town, repeats the police line, adds an established year and closes with a short motto. Dark green, silver and navy give it a forest-toned palette that sets the department apart from the usual navy-and-gold.

About this badge and laurel police shield
Putting a stitched badge at the center of a shoulder patch is a direct way to say police, and wrapping it in laurel adds the honor and tradition most departments want their insignia to carry. The compass star inside the badge suggests a department that serves every corner of its town. Dark green is an uncommon choice for municipal police, which makes this patch easy to tell apart at multi-agency events.
Order it as shown or tailor it: set your town name, year and motto in the lettering, swap dark green for navy or black, or replace the compass star with your town seal or badge number. 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 laurel shield patch questions
Can the stitched badge match our real badge?
Yes. Send a photo of your metal badge and we redraw its outline inside the laurel at no art charge; the 4-hour mockup shows the result.
Can our town name and motto go in the lettering?
Yes. Every lettering line restitches to your wording — town, police line, year and motto — and the proof shows each in place.
Can dark green be swapped for navy?
Yes. Navy and gold, black and silver or any department palette works; preview each in the markup tool before you quote.
Will the laurel leaves stay crisp at cap size?
At 2.5 inches and up, yes. Smaller versions get a simplified leaf pattern on the proof so the stitching stays clean.
How do I request changes?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the badge or wreath, pin numbered notes and switch colorways. The marked version attaches to your quote.
