About this snarling cougar and crescent shield

Cougars hunt alone, quietly and at night, which is why specialty units like them as an emblem. This shield puts the cat's snarl front and center and sets a crescent beneath it — a nod to night work and patience. Navy and gold keep it tied to department colors, while tan and a touch of red give the head real depth.

Order it as shown or adapt it: set your agency and unit name in the lettering, rename the operations line for SWAT, gang or narcotics work, or move to a blackout version for carriers. 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 cougar patch questions

Can the operations line name our team?

Yes. The agency name, police unit line and operations line all restitch to your wording — SWAT, gang unit or narcotics included.

Is a blackout version available?

Yes. Black and gray or coyote tan keeps the cougar readable on carriers; preview each in the markup tool.

Can the cougar be replaced with our mascot?

Yes. Send artwork and we redraw your mascot above the crescent at no art charge.

What size works on a helmet?

About 3 inches tall. The snarl and crescent stay clear, and the proof sizes the lettering to remain legible.

How do I send changes?

Circle the cougar or crescent, pin a note on each line and switch colorways using the markup tool in the quote form; the marked version is attached to your quote.
