About this precinct owl star design
Owls stand for watchfulness after dark, which is exactly what a patrol and response unit offers its neighborhood. Placing the owl inside a circle at the heart of a star keeps it reading as police insignia rather than a mascot, and the tan, brown, black and cream palette gives the patch an understated, almost vintage feel that wears well on khaki or tan uniforms.
Order it as shown or adjust it: set your precinct or department name in the top line, update the established year, rename the patrol line for a night shift or response team, or move the star to a navy field. 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.

Owl police patch questions
Can the precinct name and year be changed?
Yes. The precinct line, the established year and the patrol and response line all restitch to your wording, and the mockup arrives within 4 hours.
Can the owl be replaced with our department seal?
Yes. Send a photo or a PDF of your seal and we redraw it into the center circle at no art charge.
Is this star too muted for a navy uniform?
On navy the tan reads softer; for more contrast, switch the field to navy and the border to gold in the markup tool and compare.
What size do officers wear on the sleeve?
Most departments choose 4 inches point to point. That size keeps the owl's face detail and all the lettering legible.
How do I mark up the design?
In the quote form, open the markup tool, circle the owl or lettering, add notes and try colorways. Your marked version is sent with the quote.
