College Public Safety Patch — Order This Book & Oak Shield
Design S0686A at a glance
A campus shield that splits the difference between crest and badge: a gold open book with an oak leaf laid across it, the college name arched above, SECURITY and PUBLIC SAFETY stacked below. Black ground with maroon panels matches the gown-and-brick palette most campuses already wear.

About this college book and oak design
The open book belongs to the registrar; the shield belongs to the patrol car — this layout welds them, which is precisely the dual identity campus public-safety departments carry. Gold figurework on black survives both dark winter jackets and summer polos without a redraw.
Your college name takes the arch, the stacked lines reword to your department's actual title, and the book-and-oak center can incorporate your institution's seal elements. 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.

College Public Safety Book Oak Patch questions
Can our own emblem replace the open book and oak leaf on this patch?
Yes. Send a photo, a scan of an existing patch, or a PDF and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge. Your proof shows the redrawn artwork before anything is produced.
Can the lettering carry our exact wording?
Yes. Every text field on this design restitches to your company name, designation and motto — the mockup shows your wording in place before you commit.
Is this design available in other colors?
Yes. We embroider it in any palette, including subdued and blackout versions — preview colorways in the markup tool on this page and your quote references the version you picked.
What backing should we order?
Sew-on is the duty-uniform standard, iron-on suits caps and soft goods, and hook-side velcro lets one set of patches move between jackets and kit.

Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle elements, pin numbered notes, switch colorways, and place your own emblem on the patch. Your marked-up version attaches to the quote automatically.
