School Security Patch — Order This Monogram Maltese Cross Design
Design S0695A at a glance
A gold-bordered maltese cross whose four arms carry the tools of a school crest — open book, quill, oil lamp and crossed keys — around a central two-letter monogram and star. The arms also hold the institution wording, so the whole badge works like a compact coat of arms: scholastic symbols outside, your initials at the heart, and a founding-year line to anchor it.

About this education security cross design
Most security patches borrow police styling; this one borrows academic heraldry instead, and that is exactly why campus clients pick it. The four emblems are placed one per arm so each reads clearly at shoulder size, while the navy field and cream lettering keep the gold work from overwhelming the layout. It looks like it belongs on a blazer as much as on a duty shirt — useful for teams that work both.
Customize every element: the monogram restitches to your institution's initials, the arm wording takes your district or campus name, and any of the four emblems can swap for symbols from your own seal. 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
Private-school and multi-campus education security teams order this cross when uniforms need to read scholastic rather than paramilitary. Departments shared between partnered institutions use the dual-initial monogram to represent both names on one badge. Typical orders combine blazer patches for front-of-house posts with velcro-backed sets for patrol staff.

School security patch questions
Can the monogram carry our school's initials?
Yes — one, two or three letters restitch at the center, and the star above can stay, swap for a different symbol, or come out entirely.
Can the four emblems change to our own symbols?
Yes. Book, quill, lamp and keys are each independent elements; any of them redraws to a torch, laurel, shield or a symbol from your seal at no art charge.
Is this patch available for blazers as well as uniforms?
Yes. The same artwork runs as a sew-on blazer patch and a velcro-backed duty version — most campus teams order both in one run.
What does a dual-campus wording look like on the arms?
The upper arms carry the partnered names and the lower arms the security designation — your proof shows the exact arrangement before production.
