About this sheriff auxiliary pickaxe and shovel design
Pickaxe and shovel crossed under a star is a nod to the prospecting and mining roots of many western counties, and it gives an auxiliary unit its own identity apart from the sworn office. Light blue for the sky and mountains keeps the palette open and bright, while navy and gold carry the lettering and star with the formality a sheriff's patch needs.
Customize it for your auxiliary: set your place name, initials and founding year, redraw the mountains from a photo of your range, or swap the mining tools for a lantern, horseshoe or the tools of your local trade. 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 auxiliary patch questions
Can auxiliary members wear a different patch from deputies?
Yes, and most offices prefer it. This design gives volunteers their own look while keeping the sheriff's office connection in the lettering.
Can the mining tools be replaced?
Yes. A lantern, horseshoe, saddle or any local trade symbol can replace the pickaxe and shovel at no art charge.
Can the mountains match our range?
Yes. Send a photo of your local mountains and we redraw them on your proof.
Can the initials be changed?
Yes. The initials line restitches to your unit abbreviation, or it can be removed for a cleaner layout.
How do I mark changes on the patch?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the tools, mountains or star, pin notes and choose colors. Your marked-up version attaches to your quote.
Need the sworn office patch too?
An auxiliary emblem is one part of an office's insignia. Stars, K9 rounds and patrol shields are in the sheriff patch range with this pickaxe and shovel auxiliary design. If pricing, backings or sizes come first, the patch guide that prices a pickaxe and shovel auxiliary patch covers them.
