Sheriff Search and Rescue Star Patch — Order This Starburst Design
Design S1495A at a glance
An eight-point starburst forms the outline, and a six-point sheriff star sits on top of it with a single initial at its center. A black merrowed edge wraps the shape, with grey and silver thread on black for a subdued, metal-badge feel. Lettering carries the sheriff's office name, a motto, the search and rescue title and an established year.

About this starburst sheriff search and rescue design
Layering a six-point sheriff star over an eight-point starburst gives a search and rescue patch two jobs at once: the star says sheriff's office, and the burst behind it reads like a compass or signal flare. Stitched in black, grey and silver, it looks like a blackened metal badge and sits quietly on dark rescue shells. The single initial at the center gives the office a monogram without a crowded seal.
Customize it for your team: put your office's initial at the center, restitch the name and motto, switch silver to blaze orange for visibility, or add a gold metallic star for dress wear. 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.

Sheriff search and rescue star questions
Can our initial or seal go in the center?
Yes. The center initial restitches to your office letter, or we place a small seal or unit number there instead. The proof shows it in place before production.
Can we get a blaze-orange version for field work?
Yes. The starburst can stitch in blaze orange with a black sheriff star on top, which stands out in snow and timber. Compare colorways in the markup tool.
Will the starburst points fray?
No. The black merrowed edge wraps the points on this design; if you choose a sharper starburst, we finish it with a heat-sealed hot-cut edge that holds through washing.
What's the right size for helmets?
3" point to point. We scale the lettering on your proof so the title stays readable.
How do we request changes?
Mark them directly on the design with the markup tool in the quote form — circle the initial, pin notes, switch colors — and the marked-up version rides with your quote.
