About this rearing horse traffic enforcement shield
Traffic units are about speed and control, and a rearing horse captures both in one image. The crossed flintlock pistols give the shield frontier history, and the river at sunset adds a sense of place. With red, tan and gold behind a black horse, the palette is warm and western — a deliberate break from the blue-and-silver look most traffic patches share.
Customize it for your unit: department and division wording in the lettering, your own motto, or a motorcycle-unit line in place of traffic enforcement. The pistols can also be swapped for crossed batons or wings. 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.

Traffic enforcement police patch questions
Can the unit line read Motor Unit instead?
Yes. The unit line restitches to Motor Unit, Highway Safety, Patrol or any division name, with the horse and shield unchanged.
Can the flintlock pistols be replaced?
Yes. Crossed batons, wings or wheels can take their place — note it in the markup and the proof shows the swap.
Will the sunset look right in thread?
Yes. The sky stitches as layered bands of red, tan and gold, which reads as a sunset at sleeve size and up.
What backing do motor officers use?
Hook-side velcro on riding jackets, so patches move between each season's gear. Sew-on stays standard on uniform shirts.
How do I mark edits on the design?
The markup tool in the quote form lets you circle the pistols, pin notes on any lettering line and swap colors. Your marked-up shield is sent along with the quote.
