Campus Police Crest Patch — Order This Torch and Laurel Rope-Edge Shield
Design S0997A at a glance
A navy shield framed in a cream rope border, with a torch, an open book and a laurel crest at its center and a single-letter initial, worked in cream and gold. The lettering names a university, a campus police department, a founding year and a knowledge-and-security motto, and every line restitches to your own wording.

About this torch, book and laurel crest shield
This shield borrows straight from university heraldry: a torch for enlightenment, an open book for learning and a laurel crest for achievement, all built around a single initial the way a school's athletic mark often is. The cream rope border is the detail people notice — softer than gold, it gives the patch the look of a varsity crest.
Order it as shown or tailor it: reset the initial to your institution's letter, set your university and department names in the lettering, or switch the rope border to gold for command staff. 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.
