About this sheriff special operations pine and river design
Most sheriff's patches put the star on a plain field; this one sets it over the land the office patrols. The pine forest and river give special operations crews a sense of place, and the earthy brown, green and cream palette matches tan and khaki sheriff's uniforms better than navy does. The gold star and gold edge keep it formal enough for dress wear.
Order it with your office name in the top line and your founding year below, or redraw the landscape to your own ridge line or lake. 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 special operations shield questions
Can the landscape show our own terrain?
Yes. Send a photo of a ridge, lake or valley in your county and we redraw it under the star at no art charge — the proof shows it before production.
Can all four lettering lines change?
Yes. The name line, the sheriff's department line, the special operations line and the established year all restitch to your wording.
Does the landscape stay sharp at sleeve size?
At 4" tall and up, yes. For a 3" version we simplify the tree line slightly and show the result on your proof first.
Can we get a subdued version for vests?
Yes. A tan-and-OD green build suits field vests, and you can quote it alongside the full-color shield in one request.
How do I request changes?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the star, forest or any line, pin notes and switch colorways. The marked-up version rides along with your quote.
