Deputy Sheriff Patch — Order This Star & Key Shield Design
Design S0830A at a glance
A navy shield with a silver gray border, centered on a sheriff star with a key. Two colors only, so the star and key read crisply from across a room. Lettering carries the county name, a sheriff's department line, a sheriff's star line and an organized-since year, all of which restitch to your office. It is a straightforward, traditional layout built for everyday deputy wear.

About this star and key deputy design
Some offices want insignia that looks like it has been on the sleeve for a century, and this shield delivers: a sheriff star with a key — the old emblem of the keeper of the county jail — on navy with silver gray stitching. No mascots, no landscape, nothing that dates it. That restraint makes it easy to wear on class A and class B uniforms alike.
Order it as shown or adapt it: put your county and office name on the lettering lines, switch to gold for a command-staff version, or add a corrections rocker for detention deputies. 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.

Deputy sheriff patch questions
Can we make a gold version for command staff?
Yes. The same design stitches in navy and gold, and both colorways can be ordered together in one quote.

Yes. Send a photo of your badge or a PDF and we redraw your star with the key at no art charge.
Can the lettering show our county and office name?
Yes. All four lettering lines restitch to your exact wording, including the organized-since year.
What backing should deputies order?
Sew-on for uniform shirts and jackets; hook-side velcro for vests and carriers. Many offices order both.
Where do I mark changes to the shield?
In the markup tool in the quote form: circle the star or lettering, pin notes and pick a colorway. Your marked-up design is attached to the quote.
Want a different county design?
If a classic star isn't the look your office wants, the sheriff patch catalog spanning star and key deputy shields to K9 and patrol designs shows every county layout we stitch. For backings, materials and how quantity changes the price, the patch hub with build options for traditional two-tone deputy shields explains it all.
