Police Tactical Team Patch — Order This Eagle and Laurel Oval
Design S1350A at a glance
A black oval edged in silver, with an eagle head mounted on a shield and wrapped in laurel branches at its center. Four lettering lines carry the department name, a special operations line, a motto and a tactical team designation. Black, grey and silver keep it close to subdued, so it sits naturally on dark tactical uniforms.

About this tactical team eagle and laurel oval design
Oval patches give lettering more room than a round, and this design uses the extra width to carry four lines of lettering. The eagle head on its shield is the only figure, which keeps the composition calm and readable. A grayscale palette with silver accents means many teams skip a separate subdued run.
Put your department, team designation and motto in the four lettering lines, or add a single accent color such as gold to the eagle. 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 tactical team patch questions
Can the tactical team line carry our unit name?
Yes. All four lettering lines restitch to your wording — department, special operations line, motto and team designation — and the proof shows each placed before production.
Do we need a separate subdued version?
Often not. The black, grey and silver palette already reads low-key, but if you want full blackout or OD green we quote it alongside the version shown.
Can we replace the eagle with our department emblem?
Yes. Send a photo, an old patch or a PDF and we redraw it on the shield inside the laurel at no art charge.
What backing works for plate carriers?
Hook-side velcro. It mates with the loop panels on most carriers, so one set of patches moves between vests and bags.
How do I show you our changes?
Mark them on the design with the markup tool in the quote form — circle lines, pin notes and switch colorways. The marked-up version rides along with your quote.
