Regional K9 Police Patch — Order This Shepherd and Scales Shield
Design S0973A at a glance
A navy shield with a gold edge, pairing a German shepherd head with the scales of justice in silver and gold. Lettering carries a region name, a regional K-9 police line, a two-word values line, a K9 mark and a law enforcement unit line. The scales give a K9 patch a legal weight that most dog-centered designs lack.

About this shepherd and scales K9 shield
Regional K9 units serve several jurisdictions at once, and their patch has to look official to all of them. This shield does that by pairing the most recognizable K9 breed with the scales of justice, a reminder that every deployment can end in a courtroom. Navy, silver and gold are the standard police palette, so the patch sits naturally beside any partner agency’s insignia.
Customize it: your region or consortium name, a K9 or canine unit line, your own values, or a malinois, lab or bloodhound in place of the shepherd. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order; stitch-ready proof within 6–12 hours, production after your approval.

Regional K9 police patch questions
Can handlers from different agencies wear the same patch?
Yes, that is what the regional design is for. Velcro backing lets each handler mount it on their own agency’s uniform or vest.
Can you redraw the shepherd as our actual dog?
Yes. Send a clear photo and we match breed, ear set and markings at no art charge. You approve the likeness on your proof.
Can the scales be replaced with our region’s seal?
Yes. A seal, map outline or star can take the scales’ place, redrawn stitch-ready.
Can the values line say something else?
Yes. Any lettering line restitches, including the region name, the unit line and the two-word values line.
Do you make memorial patches for a fallen K9?
Yes. We add the dog’s name and service years to the same design and produce a short run alongside your standard order.
