Sheriff K9 Support Patch — Order This Anchor Compass Round
Design S0520A at a glance
A grey scalloped round built around a gold anchor laid over a compass star, ringed in blue with lettering bands for the office and unit. Departments running waterside K9 details order this exact pairing — the anchor carries the marine duty, the compass star the search role — and both ring bands restitch to your county and unit wording.

About this K9 support anchor compass design
The scalloped edge is what sets this round apart — fluted like a presentation medallion rather than cut plain, it photographs with visible depth. Inside, the gold anchor over a compass star tells a specific story: canine teams that work docks, ferries and shoreline searches. The grey field keeps the gold readable without the glare of a white ground.
Make it yours before it stitches: set your sheriff’s office in the upper ring and the K9 designation below, swap the blue accents for green or red, or trade the anchor for your own unit emblem. 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 K9 support patch questions
Can the ring text name our county and K9 unit?
Yes. The upper band takes your sheriff’s office name and the lower band the K9 designation — both appear set in the proof before anything stitches.
Is the scalloped edge more fragile than a plain border?
No. The scallops are merrowed the same as a round edge and survive industrial laundering the same way — they are purely a visual upgrade.
Can we order handler and support versions together?
Yes, and most offices do. Both wordings count toward the same quantity break, so a 20-piece order split ten and ten prices as one run.
Does the anchor make sense if our unit is not waterside?
The anchor reads marine — if your detail is inland, mark up the design and we will swap it for a paw, star or your own emblem at no art charge.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the anchor, note the ring wording, switch colorways. Your markup attaches to the quote automatically.
