Regional Police Patch — Order This Bridge and Star Shield
Design S0845A at a glance
A gold-bordered navy shield with a star badge at center, and inside the star a suspension bridge spanning a US flag. The lettering carries the department name, a regional police title, detective and patrol division tags, and a serving line for the coverage area — the bridge itself redraws to your own landmark span, and every line restitches to your department.

About this bridge and flag regional police shield
Landmark patches work because residents recognize them before they read a word, and a suspension bridge is about as recognizable as civic architecture gets. Setting the bridge inside a star badge over the flag keeps it unmistakably law enforcement, while the four-color palette of navy, gold, red and white gives it the formal weight a multi-jurisdiction department needs.
Adapt it before you order: put your department and coverage area in the lettering, redraw the bridge as your own span, pier or overpass, or drop the division tags if the patch is for the whole agency. 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.

Who orders this design
Regional and multi-city police departments order this shield when one patch has to represent several communities along a shared coast, river or valley. Some departments order a detective version and a patrol version from the same art, changing only the tag. Departments with a signature bridge in their jurisdiction redraw it in for a local landmark patch.

Regional police patch questions
Can the bridge be redrawn as our own landmark?
Yes. Send a photo of your bridge, pier or overpass and we redraw it inside the star at no art charge — the proof shows the new landmark before anything stitches.
Do we have to keep both detective and patrol tags?
No. Keep both, keep one, or replace them with other divisions such as traffic or K9 — mark the change in the markup tool and it appears on your proof.
Will the flag stripes stay sharp in embroidery?
At 4 inches and up, yes. If you want finer cable and stripe detail at smaller sizes, a woven build reproduces it more crisply at the same minimum.
Can we order versions for partner agencies?
Yes. Keep the shield and bridge, change the department line per agency, and every version counts toward the same quantity break on one quote.
How do I request changes?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the bridge, pin notes on the tags, switch colorways. Your markup rides along with the quote.
Different division, or a different starting point?
One landmark shield is a narrow slice of department insignia. The police shields, stars and rounds departments compare with this bridge and flag design cover every division we stitch for. Weighing embroidered against woven for fine cable detail, or starting from scratch? The ordering guide that takes a bridge and flag shield from photo to patch explains materials, backings and pricing.
