Custom Sheriff Patches
Order Deputy Sheriff Patches
A county sheriff patch carries the seal, the office name and a star or shield outline, and it goes on every uniform your office issues. Sheriff's offices order custom sheriff patches for patrol deputies, detention and jail staff, court services, K9, SWAT, reserves and posse members, often all at once when a new sheriff takes office. We embroider most sheriff's office patches, with woven for fine seal lettering and PVC rubber for wet tactical gear. Order from $3 per patch in volume with a 10-piece minimum, no setup or digitizing fees, and a free quote within 4 hours.
- ✓ Rush production in 7–10 days

How to design your sheriff patch
Designing a sheriff patch in the TruePatch Designer comes down to three choices — the outline, the seal and lettering, and the backing for each division. Here is what to settle at each step before the sheriff signs off on the proof.
Choose the outline for each division
Start from a shoulder patch, a sheriff star outline, a badge-shaped patch or a SHERIFF ID panel for the back of a vest. Many offices keep one shoulder design and change only the division line for patrol, jail, courts and K9. Standard sizes run from 1-inch name tapes through 6-inch patches, while back panels and other large pieces are quoted per size.
Place the seal and lettering
Upload the county seal as a photo, scan or vector file, then set the office name, the county name and the division line. Stitched lettering needs roughly 4mm of height, so dense ring text around a seal often reads better woven, which holds text to about 2mm. Add metallic gold or silver thread for the star, and check every word in the live preview.
Pick backing and approve the proof
Choose sew-on for uniform sleeves, hook-and-loop for duty vests at $2.00 more per patch, or iron-on for polos and event shirts. Approve your free proof, then order from the 10-piece minimum or request a quote against a purchase order. Embroidered production runs 3–4 weeks after approval, and the seal file stays on record for the next academy class.
Shop Custom Sheriff Patches
Start from one of the eight sheriff patch layouts below, including a 4 x 2 ID panel your office can make its own. Open any card to load the county seal and set the office name and division.
Custom Sheriff Patch Pricing
Sheriff patches cost $20 each at the 10-piece minimum and fall to $3 per patch from 250 pieces, with no setup or digitizing fees on any division's design. Full tier detail at the price calculator.
Hook-and-loop backing for vest patches adds $2.00 per patch at any quantity. Orders of 500 and up are quoted individually. Pricing reviewed October 2026.
How many sheriff patches should you order?
Sheriff patches for sale on this page follow one ladder from the 10-piece minimum, seal files stay on record free, and embroidered production runs 3–4 weeks — so most offices size a run to current deputies plus the next academy class. Four common starting points for an office:
| Use case | Typical order | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Constable office or small K9 unit | 10–19 patches | $20 each at 10 — yet twenty patches at $14 cost less than any count from 15 up. |
| Jail or court services division | 30–49 patches | $11 per patch for a division set, and fifty at $6.50 total less than forty-nine. |
| Patrol division rollout | 100–249 patches | $5.50 per patch to put the seal on both sleeves of every patrol uniform. |
| Office-wide election rebadge | 250–499 patches | $3 per patch for one shoulder design worn by every division after a new sheriff takes office. |
Sheriff Patches at a Glance
What we recommend for a sheriff patch
For a patrol shoulder patch, we recommend embroidered construction with a merrowed border and sew-on backing, so the patch stays put through daily wear and regular washing. Keep the county seal large enough that its ring text stays above about 4mm, or move that design to woven. For duty vests, order the same artwork as a hook-and-loop vest patch or SHERIFF ID panel so deputies can move it between carriers. Every outline, color and backing stays adjustable in the TruePatch Designer.

Does ordering more sheriff patches cost less overall?
Nineteen sheriff patches cost $380. Twenty cost $280. At twenty the price drops from $20 to $14 per patch, so adding one patch cuts $100 from the total. A K9 unit or constable office needing sixteen pays $320 for exactly sixteen, or $280 for twenty and keeps four spares for the next hire.
Every later tier break works the same way for an office: twenty-nine sheriff patches run $406 while thirty run $330, forty-nine run $539 while fifty run $325, seventy-four run $481 while seventy-five run $450, and 249 run $1,369.50 while 250 run $750. For 500 and up, request a written quote. Offices expecting lateral hires or another academy class within the year usually order up to the next tier now, because the spare patches cost less than the gap.

Sheriff Patches by Unit
Who orders sheriff patches, and why?
Sheriff patches are ordered division by division, because patrol, jail, courts and specialty units each wear their own mark under one county seal. Deputies, detention staff, K9 handlers, tactical teams, reserves and constables all order from the uses below, each built to your own design.
| Unit | Why it gets its own patch | Typical design | Backing | Ordered when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Patrol deputies | Deputy sheriff patches put the office on every sleeve | County seal shoulder patch | Sew-on | Academy graduation or election rebadge |
| Detention and jail staff | Jail patches tell detention officers apart from patrol | Seal with a DETENTION or CORRECTIONS line | Sew-on | Jail staffing increase |
| Court services and civil division | Bailiffs and civil process deputies need their own line | Shoulder patch with a COURT SERVICES line | Sew-on | Division created or renamed |
| K9 handlers | Sheriff K9 patches mark both handler and dog gear | K9 emblem under the county seal | Hook-and-loop | K9 program launch or a new dog |
| SWAT and SRT | A sheriff SWAT patch rides on vests and plate carriers | Subdued or OD green team emblem | Hook-and-loop | Team formed or gear refresh |
| Narcotics and gang units | A sheriff narcotics patch keeps plainclothes deputies identified on raid vests | Subdued ID panel or unit mark | Hook-and-loop | Unit formed or deputies reassigned |
| Reserve deputies and posse | Reserve and posse members read as distinct at a glance | Shoulder patch with a RESERVE or POSSE line | Sew-on or iron-on | Reserve program starts or grows |
| Constables | Constable patches carry the constable's office title instead of SHERIFF | CONSTABLE shoulder patch or vest ID panel | Sew-on or hook-and-loop | A constable takes office |
Backing follows the assignment: sew-on for uniform sleeves, hook-and-loop where a patch moves between vests and carriers, iron-on for reserve and event polos. If your office already wears a patch from another producer, send a photo and we redraw the seal for a free proof, from the 10-piece minimum.
Reorders
How do I reorder or replace sheriff patches?
Replacement sheriff patches are made from the seal and division files we keep on record at no charge, so a new run matches the patches already on the line with no new setup or digitizing fee. A reorder needs only the 10-piece minimum per design, and embroidered replacements ship 3 to 4 weeks after the proof is approved.
Patches for the next academy class
Tell us the design, quantity and backing. We retrieve the division file, send a proof for sign-off, and the new deputies' patches match everyone else in the office.
Switching from another patch maker
Send front photos of your current patches and any seal artwork. We redraw the design at no charge, proof it free, and keep the file on record for every later order.
A new sheriff takes office
We update the name or seal on each division's file, proof every version free, and keep the earlier files on record in case reserves or retirees still wear them.
Moving a design onto a vest
Any stored design can be reordered with hook-and-loop instead of sew-on, so the vest version matches the sleeve version exactly.

Custom Sheriff Patches, Order for Your Office
Sheriff patches start at a 10-piece minimum and take 3–4 weeks embroidered after proof approval. Which page comes next depends on the gear: detachable vest patches, name tapes for each deputy, or rubber builds for wet assignments. Choose the link that matches how the patch will be worn. Compare options for hook-and-loop patches for duty vests when deputies swap one patch between vests, jackets and carriers, name tapes for deputies and detention staff when field and jail uniforms also carry a stitched surname, and rubber patches that shrug off rain and mud for K9 handlers and search crews working in every kind of weather. Each of those pages works on the same 10-piece minimum, and one quote can combine them with your sheriff patches.
