Falcon and Key Police Patch — Order This Sunburst Round Design
Design S1684A at a glance
A maroon round with gold and tan detail, showing a falcon clutching a key with a sunburst. Lettering carries the department name and a founding-year line. The key suggests a department entrusted with its town, the falcon its watchfulness, and the warm maroon-and-gold palette sets the patch apart from the usual navy and black.

About this police falcon and key round design
Keys have a long history in civic heraldry as a symbol of trust: the keys to the city, the guardian at the gate. Put one in a falcon’s talons and the patch says a department is both entrusted and alert. The sunburst adds warmth, and the maroon, gold and tan palette gives the round a vintage character that suits departments with a long founding history.
Order it with your department name and founding year, swap the falcon for a hawk or eagle, or move the palette to navy and gold for a more conventional look. 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.

Falcon and key police patch questions
Can the falcon be swapped for our mascot?
Yes. Hawks, eagles, owls and other birds fit the same pose with the key. Send a photo and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge.
Can the key carry our town initials?
Yes. The bow of the key can hold initials or a small emblem, shown on your proof before production.
Can we change the founding year?
Yes. The year line restitches to any date, or to a short motto if you would rather not show a year.
Does maroon work on navy uniforms?
It reads well, especially with the gold detail. If your department prefers navy, the markup tool previews the full design recolored.
How fast is the first mockup?
Within 4 hours of your quote request, and it costs nothing. Production only begins once you approve the proof.
Considering other municipal police designs?
This falcon round is one take on a civic-style emblem. The police patch range beyond this falcon-and-key round include shields, stars and K9 patches for other units. To compare embroidered, woven and PVC builds side by side, the patch guide pricing a maroon falcon round with a sunburst covers material, backing and price.
