University Police Hexagon Patch — Order This Griffin and Compass Rose Design
Design S0974A at a glance
A six-sided navy shield edged in gold, with a griffin over an open book and a compass rose at the center, worked in gold and white. The lettering carries an institution name, a university police line, a founding year and a campus public safety tag — every line restitches to your own wording, and the griffin can stay or give way to your mascot.

About this griffin and compass rose hexagon design
Griffins turn up on campus insignia because they pair a guardian with a scholar's emblem, and here the open book and compass rose make that link explicit — protection, learning and direction in a single stack. The six-sided shield gives the composition straighter shoulders than a classic police shield, so the lettering sits on even lines and stays legible at 3.5 inches.
Order it as drawn or adjust it: put your institution and department names into the lettering, set your real founding year, or swap the griffin for your school mascot redrawn from your athletics logo. 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.

Who orders this design
University and college police departments, campus public safety offices and residence-life security teams order this hexagon for patrol uniforms and outreach events. Departments that share a town with a city force often pick the six-sided cut on purpose so students can tell the two apart. Many add a second, smaller run for security escort staff.

University police hexagon patch questions
Can our school mascot replace the griffin?
Yes. Send your athletics logo or mascot art and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge; the open book and compass rose can stay beneath it or come out entirely.
Will the lettering fit a long institution name?
Long names are common on campus patches. The lettering restitches to your full institution name and department line, and your proof shows exact letter heights before anything is produced.
Can we order the design in our school colors?
Yes — navy, gold and white is only a starting point. Give us your school's color values and the mockup shows the hexagon in your palette.
What backing works for bike-patrol and event staff?
Hook-side velcro for vests and bike-unit kit, sew-on for permanent uniform shirts. Mixed backings in one order are fine — just note the split in the quote form.
How do I mark up changes to this design?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the griffin or lettering, pin numbered notes and switch colorways. The marked-up version attaches to your quote automatically.
