K9 Unit Shield Patch — Order This Shotgun and Baton Design
Design S0913A at a glance
A navy shield with a gold edge, built around a police dog's head with a crossed shotgun and baton, stitched in tan and grey. The lettering carries a department name and a K-9 unit designation. It's a working patrol-dog patch that shows the dog as part of the armed response, and both the dog and every line of lettering redraw to your unit.

About this K9 shotgun and baton shield
Where many K9 patches soften the dog with paw prints and laurels, this shield puts it beside the patrol officer's tools — a crossed shotgun and baton. That gives the design a patrol-first tone that suits units whose dogs work apprehension and building searches. Tan and grey on navy keep the emblem understated enough for daily wear.
Order it with your department and unit in the lettering, your own dog redrawn from a photo, or the shotgun and baton swapped for a badge or handcuffs if your policy prefers no weapons on insignia. 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.
