Description
This embroidered patch features the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office insignia, the shoulder patch of the office serving Alameda County, California, in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area, whose county seat is Oakland. It is built as a rounded, octagonal patch on a navy blue twill ground, finished with a gold merrowed border, with a gold seven-point star and a California grizzly bear worked at the center.
Center: The dominant element is a gold seven-point ball-tipped star holding a circular scene – a brown California grizzly bear walking on a green grassy mound, the state symbol of California. A scroll above the bear reads DEPUTY, a scroll below reads SHERIFF, and CA sits beneath that. The bear and the scrolls are the focal point, set against the navy field inside the star.
Top Section: ALAMEDA COUNTY arches across the top of the patch in large gold block letters, following the rounded upper edge against the navy ground.
Bottom Section: SHERIFF runs across the lower patch in large gold block letters, balancing the ALAMEDA COUNTY lettering above and framing the star between them.
Shape & Base: Rather than a pointed shield, the patch is a rounded octagon – eight gently angled sides with soft corners – on a navy blue twill ground, edged with a bright gold merrowed border. The navy field gives the design strong contrast, making the gold star and lettering and the full-color grizzly stand out sharply.
Embroidery Quality: Full-coverage stitching with high stitch density holds the fine detail of the California grizzly bear, the green grassy mound, the DEPUTY and SHERIFF scrolls, the gold seven-point star, and the arched ALAMEDA COUNTY and SHERIFF block lettering with sharp, even edges and a durable surface that stands up to daily uniform wear and laundering.
This is one of a series of California sheriff department patches in the gallery. Compare it with the Los Angeles County Sheriff patch, which also carries the California grizzly in a gold star, the seven-point-star San Diego County Sheriff patch, and the Orange County, California Sheriff patch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is shown on the Alameda County Sheriff's Office patch?
The patch is a rounded, octagonal navy patch with a gold border. ALAMEDA COUNTY arches across the top and SHERIFF runs across the bottom, both in gold block letters. At the center, a gold seven-point star holds a brown California grizzly bear on a green grassy mound, with a DEPUTY scroll above the bear, a SHERIFF scroll below, and CA beneath that. Owl Badges reproduces it as an embroidered shoulder patch.
Why is there a grizzly bear on the Alameda County Sheriff patch?
The brown grizzly bear walking on green grass is the state symbol of California, the same bear that appears on the California state flag and seal. On this patch it sits inside the gold seven-point star with DEPUTY and SHERIFF scrolls and CA beneath, marking the Alameda County Sheriff's Office as a California agency. We reproduce the bear, the grass, and the scrolls in detailed stitching.
Where is the Alameda County Sheriff's Office located?
The Alameda County Sheriff's Office serves Alameda County, California, in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area, with Oakland as the county seat. The California grizzly and the CA in the central seal tie the design to the state. We reproduce the county name and the seal exactly as they appear on the original.
Is this patch a different shape from the other sheriff patches?
Yes. Where many sheriff patches are pointed shields, this Alameda County patch is a rounded octagon - eight gently angled sides with soft corners - on a navy field with a gold border. The octagon shape, the gold seven-point star, and the California grizzly give it a distinct look. We can match this shape, or any other patch outline, for a custom design.
Can you make a custom California sheriff patch with a bear and star?
Yes. A navy patch with a gold seven-point star, a California grizzly, DEPUTY and SHERIFF scrolls, and arched county lettering is a classic California sheriff layout, and we can adapt it for your own office or department - your county name, your seal or state symbol inside the star, and your colors and shape. A free proof is provided before production so you can confirm every detail.
Do I need credentials to order a patch with the Alameda County Sheriff's Office name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Alameda County Sheriff's Office are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or fictional department designs, and patches renamed to your own department, are welcome without that step.
