About this eagle and scales security shield
Scales are rare on private security insignia, and that rarity is useful: they tell clients this firm takes accountability seriously, not just presence. The eagle supplies authority, while four colors — navy, silver, red and gold — give the shield the formal weight of agency insignia. The grey merrowed edge keeps it from blending into navy or black uniform fabric.
Adapt it before you order: set your company and division names, change the field operations line to your service, update the established year, or replace the eagle with your company 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.

Security shoulder patch questions
What size is standard for a security shoulder patch?
Three and a half to four inches tall. That size fits the sleeve of most uniform shirts and jackets without wrapping the shoulder seam.
Can supervisors get a different border?
Yes. A gold-bordered supervisor version and a grey-bordered officer version can share one order and one quantity break.
Can the division and field operations lines change?
Yes. All lettering — company, division, field operations and the established year — restitches to your exact wording on the proof.
Can the eagle become our logo?
Yes. Send a vector file, photo or screenshot of your logo and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge.
How do I mark up changes to this shield?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the eagle or scales, pin notes on the lettering, and switch colorways; the markup attaches to your quote.
