Design S0786A at a glance
A navy shield trimmed in gold, with a bear holding a compass star and a range of mountains, worked in brown, green and gold.

It's a high-country design built for offices that patrol peaks and back roads.

About this bear and compass star shield
A bear holding a compass star is a neat bit of design economy: the star is both a navigation symbol and the sheriff's badge, and the bear makes it a statement about guarding wild country. Brown and green ground the emblem in the landscape, navy keeps it official, and gold ties the border to the star.
Make it yours: set your county in the top field and your department below, adjust the public safety line and year, or redraw the mountains as your county's actual skyline. 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.
