Tactical Unit Skyline Patch — Order This City-at-Dusk Police Design
Design S1643A at a glance
A gold-merrowed custom cut showing a city skyline at dusk with stars overhead, stitched in navy, gold and orange. Two lettering lines carry a region name and a tactical unit designation, so the patch stays uncluttered and lets the skyline do the talking. Both lines restitch to your wording, and the buildings can be redrawn as your own city.

About this city skyline at dusk tactical design
Skylines tell people where a team works before anyone reads a word, which is why metro tactical units return to them again and again. Stitching the scene at dusk, with stars coming out, adds a quiet nod to the hours these teams keep. A three-thread palette and just two lines of text keep the patch clean enough to work subdued on a carrier.
Order it as shown or customize it: redraw the buildings as your own city's skyline, set your unit name in the two lines, or switch to a blackout build for night operations. 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.

Tactical unit skyline patch questions
Can you redraw the skyline as our city?
Yes. Send a photo or a reference image of your skyline and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge. The proof shows it before production.
Will the skyline hold up in a subdued build?
Yes. Building outlines stay distinct in blackout or wolf gray because the shapes carry the design; preview each in the markup tool.
Can we add a third lettering line?
Yes. A motto or team number can go beneath the skyline; we'll rebalance the layout on your 4-hour mockup.
What size works on a helmet?
About 3 inches wide. At that size we thicken the building edges slightly on the proof so the skyline stays crisp.
How do I show you our changes?
Mark them on the design with the markup tool in the quote form: circle buildings, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. The marked-up skyline goes with your quote.
Different team patch, or the full catalog?
This skyline is one tactical design among many. The police patch layouts beyond this dusk skyline tactical design include K9, patrol and investigations patches in every shape. If you're choosing between embroidered, woven and PVC, or starting from your own team art, the patch guide that prices a skyline tactical patch from ten pieces up covers it.
