Black and Gold Police Patch — Order This Moonlit Skyline Design
Design S1835A at a glance
A black-merrowed custom cut in black, gold, grey and red. A city skyline stands beneath a full moon, and a red compass star sits inside a laurel wreath. Lettering carries the city name, the police department line and a three-word motto. The night-time scene gives the patch an urban, around-the-clock character that fits departments proud of their downtown.

About this moonlit skyline police department design
Skyline patches are a city department’s way of saying exactly where its officers work, and setting the buildings under a full moon adds the night shift to the story. The red compass star in its laurel wreath acts as the department’s mark of honor, and it is the only red thread in the patch, so the eye lands on it first. Black, gold and grey keep everything else formal.
Order it as shown or build your own: redraw the skyline as your downtown from a photo, set your city name and motto in the lettering, or turn the compass star blue to match your cruiser livery. 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.

Black and gold police patch questions
Can you redraw the skyline as our own city?
Yes. Send a skyline photo and we redraw your landmark buildings under the moon at no art charge.
Can the motto and city name change?
Yes. Every lettering field restitches to your wording, and the proof shows each line before production.
Can the red compass star become a different color?
Yes. Blue, gold or white all work; many departments match it to their cruiser stripe.
Is there a blackout version for tactical vests?
Yes. A blackout or gray build keeps the skyline and wreath while dropping the red and gold. Preview it in the markup tool.
