Description
This embroidered patch features the Baltimore Police Department insignia, the shoulder patch of the department located in Baltimore, Maryland. It is built on a royal-blue twill shield finished with a gold merrowed border and a thin inner gold line, with the city heraldry worked at the center.
Center: The dominant element is a heraldic shield carrying the Maryland state arms – the black-and-gold banded Calvert quarters and the red-and-white Crossland cross-bottony quarters that make up the Maryland flag. Rising above the shield is the Washington Monument, the white column in Baltimore Mount Vernon district, topped by the standing statue of George Washington and set on a stepped base. Together the arms and the monument tie the patch directly to the city and state.
Top Section: BALTIMORE POLICE arches across the upper shield in bold gold block letters on two lines, curving with the top of the shield and reading clearly against the blue field.
Shape & Base: The patch is a pointed shield – rounded shoulders tapering to a point at the base – on a royal-blue twill ground, edged with a gold merrowed border traced by a thin inner line for a clean, uniform-ready outline.
Color & Detail: The Maryland heraldry brings black, gold, red, and white into the center against the blue field, while the monument is worked in white and grey. The contrast makes the central emblem the focal point of the design.
Embroidery Quality: Full-coverage stitching with high stitch density holds the fine quartered heraldry, the columned monument and statue, and the arched agency name with sharp, even edges and a durable surface that stands up to daily uniform wear and laundering.
This is one of a series of police department patches in the gallery. Compare it with other major-city designs, the Philadelphia Police Department patch, the Washington DC Metropolitan Police Department patch, and the New York City Police Department patch.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Patches bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers must provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. We do not sell agency-named patches for personal use.
Custom and fictional designs — for example, a made-up department like “Town of Western Hope Police” — are welcome, as are designs where you change the agency or department name to your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is shown on the Baltimore Police Department patch?
The patch is a royal-blue shield with a gold border. BALTIMORE POLICE arches across the top in bold gold letters. At the center is a heraldic shield in the Maryland flag colors - black-and-gold Calvert quarters and red-and-white Crossland quarters - topped by the white Washington Monument and the statue of George Washington on a stepped base. Owl Badges reproduces it as an embroidered shoulder patch.
What is the Maryland flag heraldry on the Baltimore Police patch?
The central shield carries the Maryland state arms: the black-and-gold banded quarters of the Calvert family and the red-and-white cross-bottony quarters of the Crossland family. These are the same quarters that make up the Maryland flag, embroidered in fine detail to root the patch in the state.
What is the monument on the Baltimore Police patch?
It is the Washington Monument in Baltimore Mount Vernon neighborhood - a tall white column topped by a standing statue of George Washington, set on a stepped base. It rises above the Maryland heraldry at the center of the patch and is one of the city most recognizable landmarks, worked here in white and grey.
Can you build a custom shield patch with state or city heraldry like this?
Yes. A blue shield with an arched agency name and a central emblem combining state heraldry and a local landmark is a strong municipal-police layout, and we can adapt it for your own agency - your state arms, your local monument or seal, and your department name. A free proof is provided before production so you can confirm every detail.
What size is the Baltimore Police Department shoulder patch?
Shoulder patches like this are typically made in the 4 to 5 inch range so the arched name, the quartered heraldry, and the monument stay legible on a uniform sleeve. Because the Maryland arms and the monument carry fine detail, we confirm the proportions at your chosen size on the free proof so everything stays crisp.
Do I need credentials to order a patch with the Baltimore Police Department name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Baltimore Police Department 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.
