Coastal Police Patch — Order This Lighthouse & Anchor Shield
Design S0833A at a glance
A navy shield with a gold border, centered on a lighthouse with an anchor in navy, gold and white. Lettering covers the town, a police department line, a special operations unit line and a founding year. The lighthouse makes it a natural fit for coastal and harbor-adjacent departments, and every line restitches to your team's wording.

About this lighthouse special operations design
A lighthouse is a guide in the dark — an apt symbol for a special operations team that gets called when conditions are worst. Paired with an anchor on a navy shield with gold and white detail, it gives a coastal department's specialist unit insignia that is distinct from the main shoulder patch while still clearly belonging to it.
Order it as drawn or adjust it: rename the unit line for your marine, dive or tactical team, replace the lighthouse with a local landmark, or build a blackout version for operations gear. 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.

Coastal police patch questions
Can the lighthouse be our local landmark?
Yes. Send a photo of your lighthouse, bridge or tower and we redraw it at no art charge. You approve it on your proof.
Is there a waterproof option for boat crews?
Yes. PVC holds up to salt water and spray; the same art molds cleanly in PVC with velcro backing.
Can the unit line say marine or dive team?
Yes. Every lettering line restitches to your exact wording.
What backing works on a carrier?
Hook-side velcro mates with the loop panel on most carriers; we cut it at 3 to 3.5 inches.
How do I show what to change?
Mark the design up in the quote form — circle the lighthouse, pin notes and choose colors. Your markup attaches automatically.
Exploring other police unit designs?
A lighthouse suits coastal teams; inland units have plenty of other options. The police patch lineup with lighthouse special operations shields, K9 rounds and traffic stars shows every division we embroider. For PVC versus embroidered and how pricing scales, the patch hub with build notes for anchor-and-lighthouse unit shields covers it.
