Anne Arundel County Police Embroidered Patch with Maryland State Outline Heraldic Shield and In Rebus Publicis Motto

Description

This Anne Arundel County Police embroidered patch was designed for the Anne Arundel County Police Department in Maryland, featuring a distinctive white Maryland state outline silhouette as the primary design field — with a full-color heraldic county shield, crown, and the county’s Latin motto “In Rebus Publicis” on a deep navy twill base.

Shape & Base: Wide shield shape with a notched upper center indentation and rounded point at the bottom on heavy navy blue twill fabric with a matching navy merrowed border edge. The navy-on-navy border treatment creates a clean, seamless edge that keeps the focus entirely on the white Maryland state outline and colorful heraldic elements at the center of the composition.

Top Section: “ANNE ARUNDEL” arches in small navy or white embroidered block lettering across the upper field above the state outline silhouette, with “COUNTY” on a second line directly beneath — both rendered against the navy twill base. “POLICE” appears in large bold white block lettering overlaid directly across the upper portion of the Maryland state outline silhouette, with the white lettering integrating into the white state shape for a distinctive layered typographic treatment.

Center: A white embroidered silhouette of the State of Maryland fills the full center and lower field — the distinctive Maryland state outline shape with its irregular coastline, Eastern Shore peninsula, and western panhandle rendered accurately in white thread against the navy base. At the center of the state silhouette, a full-color Anne Arundel County heraldic shield is positioned — the shield features the classic Maryland coat of arms design with alternating red and white cross-bottony quadrants and black and gold diagonal stripe quadrants, rendered in accurate heraldic colors. A gold crown with detailed castellations sits above the shield, referencing the county’s royal charter heritage. Below the shield, a gold scroll banner with “IN REBUS PUBLICIS” embroidered in dark lettering presents the county’s Latin motto — meaning “In Public Affairs” — as a clean heraldic finishing element beneath the coat of arms.

Bottom Section: “MD.” appears in small white or gold embroidered lettering at the base of the Maryland state outline silhouette, providing concise state identification integrated into the lower portion of the state shape design.

Embroidery Quality: The navy base with white Maryland state silhouette and full-color heraldic shield creates a sophisticated, layered composition with strong geographic and institutional identity. The Maryland state outline is accurately rendered with clean coastline and boundary detail. The heraldic shield achieves accurate color placement across the four quadrants — red, white, black, and gold heraldic colors are cleanly separated. The gold crown above the shield features individual castellation detail. The motto scroll banner is cleanly stitched with legible Latin text. The navy merrowed border provides a seamless, professional finish suited for active police uniform wear.
