Police Special Response Team Patch — Order This Rifle and Key Diamond
Design S1191A at a glance
A grey-edged diamond in black, grey and silver with a touch of blue. At the center a key is crossed with a rifle inside a circle, framed by a checkered border that gives the patch a sharp, technical look. Lettering carries a team name and a Special Response Team designation. The low-contrast palette suits carriers and tactical uniforms without going fully blacked out.

About this special response rifle and key diamond
Tactical teams tend to choose between two signals: capability and restraint. This diamond carries both, crossing a rifle with a key — force paired with the authority to open doors lawfully. The checkered border borrows from traditional police checkerboard banding, and the diamond shape stands out from round and shield patches on a crowded carrier.
Adapt it to your team: put your agency or unit name in the name line, change the designation to SWAT, ERT or Tactical, swap the blue accent for your department color, or run it fully subdued for field kit. 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.

Police special response team patch questions
Can our team name go on this diamond?
Yes. The name line and the designation lines restitch to your wording — agency, team name, SWAT, ERT or Tactical. Your free mockup shows the text set within 4 hours.
Is there a fully subdued version for carriers?
Yes. The diamond stitches in all-black, coyote tan or ranger green with the rifle and key in a single contrast thread. Preview each in the markup tool.
Can the rifle be replaced with another symbol?
Yes. A breaching ram, ballistic shield, lightning bolt or your unit insignia can take its place, crossed with the key or on its own, redrawn at no art charge.
Is PVC a better build for a tactical diamond?
For carrier and helmet use, PVC resists abrasion and rain better than embroidery. The design converts cleanly, and your mockup can show both builds side by side.
How do I send changes for this diamond?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to recolor the diamond, circle the center emblem and pin notes on each lettering line. Your marked-up diamond attaches to the quote.
Need a different tactical or unit patch?
This rifle-and-key diamond is built for tactical teams. Patrol, K9 and detective units will find their shapes in the police unit patch lineup beside this checkered rifle and key diamond.
