Subdued Police Lighthouse Patch — Order This Crossed Batons Shield
Design S1544A at a glance
A police shield in a fully subdued palette — olive green, black and grey — with an olive merrowed edge. A lighthouse rises above a smaller shield bearing crossed batons, so the art reads as watch and protection in one image. Two lettering lines, a department name and a short motto, frame the scene without breaking the low-visibility look.

About this lighthouse and crossed batons subdued shield
A lighthouse is about watch — standing in one place and keeping others safe — which makes it a natural emblem for a police department. Here it is paired with crossed batons on an inner shield, then stitched entirely in subdued olive, black and grey. That combination is uncommon, since lighthouse designs are usually bright navy and white; this one is built to sit on tactical kit and OD uniforms without standing out.
Order it subdued as shown, or customize the colors: a navy-and-white full-color build for dress uniforms is a quick switch, and the department line and motto restitch to your own wording. 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.

Subdued police lighthouse patch questions
Can this lighthouse shield be ordered in full color?
Yes. Navy, white and red or gold make a classic full-color version. Preview it in the markup tool and quote both builds together.
Can you redraw our local lighthouse?
Yes. Send a photo and we redraw your lighthouse above the shield at no art charge. The mockup shows the change before production.
What does subdued mean for patch colors?
Low-contrast thread — olive, tan, gray or black — chosen so the patch reads up close but blends at a distance. This design is subdued from the start.
Which backing fits a plate carrier?
Hook-side velcro. It mates with the loop panel on most carriers and vests, so one set of patches moves between kit.
How do I mark up this shield?
Open the quote form markup tool, circle the lighthouse or batons, pin numbered notes and try other subdued sets. The annotated version is attached to your quote.
