Police K9 Griffin Patch — Order This Keyhole Shield Design
Design S1358A at a glance
A custom-cut police patch where a griffin grips a shield marked with a keyhole. Navy and royal blue set the field, silver and copper pick out the griffin, and two lettering lines carry the department name and a K-9 unit line. The griffin — half eagle, half lion — makes a fitting emblem for a dog team that is both watchful and strong.

About this police K9 griffin keyhole design
Not every K9 patch needs a dog's head. This one uses a griffin, the heraldic guardian, to stand for the team, and the keyhole on its shield points to what detection dogs do best: finding what's locked away. Copper and silver give the creature a metallic sheen against two blues, and the black merrowed edge frames the custom outline cleanly.
Order it with your department name and unit line, or replace the keyhole with your dog's name, a paw print or your agency seal. 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 K9 griffin patch questions
Can the keyhole be replaced with our dog's name?
Yes. The shield can carry a dog's name, a paw print or your agency seal — redrawn at no art charge and shown on your proof first.
Can the K-9 unit line change?
Yes. Both lettering lines restitch to your wording, whether that is K-9 unit, canine section or detection team.
Is there a subdued version?
Yes. A grey-and-black build suits tactical K9 vests, and you can quote it alongside the full-color version.
Will the griffin detail survive at small sizes?
At 4" tall and up it stays crisp. For a 3" harness patch we simplify the feathers and show the result on your proof.
How do I mark changes on this design?
Use the markup tool in the quote form — circle the griffin, shield or lettering, pin notes and switch colorways. Your marked-up version attaches automatically.
