About this winged lion campus security design
Campus security patches need to belong to the institution as much as to the security team, and this shield does that with a winged lion, a book and a key. The lion borrows from collegiate heraldry, the book speaks to learning, and the key to safekeeping. Navy, green and gold feel academic rather than municipal, which helps officers read as part of campus life.
Customize it for your school: put your college's name and founding year on the lettering lines, recolor it in your school colors, or replace the lion with your mascot. 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 security officer patch questions
Can the lion be our school mascot?
Yes. Send your mascot artwork or seal and we redraw it into the shield at no art charge.
Can we use our school colors?
Yes. Send your color codes and we match them to the nearest thread colors on your proof.
Can the officer line say supervisor or dispatcher?
Yes. Every lettering line restitches to your wording, so you can order rank or role versions in one quote.
What size works on a polo?
About 3 inches with iron-on or sew-on backing. We simplify the wing detail slightly at that size.
How do I send our changes?
Use the quote form's markup tool to circle the lion or lettering, pin notes and pick colors. The marked-up design attaches to your quote.
