About this griffin and crossed fasces gear
Crossed fasces — bound rods, an ancient symbol of lawful authority — give this patch a classical, institutional tone, and the griffin with a torch ties that authority to learning. The gear outline is the unexpected part: it suggests an engineering or technical campus, or simply a department where police and security staff mesh.
Order it as drawn or adjust it: set your university's initials and names in the lettering, rename the guard division, or trade the gear outline for a round cut while keeping the griffin and fasces. 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.

University police and security patch questions
Can police officers and security staff share this design?
Yes. Order two versions with different role lines — police and security — in one run, both on a single proof.
What are the crossed fasces?
Bundled rods that have stood for lawful authority since antiquity and still appear in civic and legislative emblems. They give the patch a classical, institutional look.
Can we use our own initials?
Yes. The two initials set into the design restitch to your institution's letters, or come out if you prefer the griffin alone.
Can the guard division have its own version?
Yes. A ceremonial or guard division version with its own division line can run alongside the main department patch on the same order.
How do I request edits?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the griffin, fasces or initials, pin notes, and choose colors. Your marked-up design attaches to the quote automatically.
Not the right fit for your campus?
A gear outline suits some campuses; others want a classic shield or round. The police patch range beyond the griffin and crossed fasces gear covers municipal and campus shapes alike, unit by unit. If the deciding factor is PVC versus embroidery for the gear teeth, or how to split backings across police and security roles, the patch build guide for griffin fasces gear orders compares them.
