Description
This embroidered patch features the Bay Area Rapid Transit Police insignia on a blue field cut to a pointed shield shape, with a gold merrow border framing the design.
Center: The California state seal sits at the heart of the patch inside a gold ring. The seated figure of Minerva holds a spear and shield, with a grizzly bear feeding at her feet and a sheaf of grain beside her.
Seal Detail: Behind the figures, ships sail on San Francisco Bay, a miner works the hills, and the Sierra Nevada mountains rise in the distance, with EUREKA, the state motto, on a banner above.
Ring Text: The gold ring reads BAY AREA RAPID around the top of the seal, framing the California emblem in gold lettering.
Top Section: POLICE arches large across the top of the shield in bold gold block lettering, the most prominent word on the patch.
Bottom Section: TRANSIT POLICE curves across the lower portion in gold lettering, naming the agency.
Shape & Base: The pointed shield is worked in full-coverage blue twill, with a gold merrow edge and a thin black outer line that frame the seal in strong contrast.
Embroidery Quality: Produced in full-coverage embroidery on polyester twill, it holds the fine detail of the seal figures, the bear, the bay scene, and the lettering cleanly. Order it as shown for the BART Police, or customize the colors, lettering, border, and seal for your own agency.

🛡 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 BART Police patch?
It is a blue pointed shield with a gold border. POLICE arches across the top and TRANSIT POLICE curves across the bottom, both in gold. The center carries the California state seal with Minerva, a grizzly bear, ships on the bay, and the EUREKA motto.
What does BART stand for?
BART is Bay Area Rapid Transit, the rail system serving the San Francisco Bay Area. The BART Police are its dedicated transit law-enforcement agency, and BAY AREA RAPID TRANSIT POLICE is spelled out around the patch.
What is the seal in the middle?
It is the California state seal. It shows Minerva, a grizzly bear, a miner, ships on San Francisco Bay, and the Sierra Nevada, with EUREKA, the state motto, above. BART Police use it as a California transit agency.
What does EUREKA mean?
EUREKA is the California state motto, Greek for I have found it. It appears on a banner above the figures in the state seal at the center of the patch.
Can you make a custom transit or public safety patch like this for our agency?
Yes. A shield with a state seal and arched lettering is a flexible template. We can swap the seal, agency name, colors, and border to fit your department, with a free proof before production.
Do I need credentials to order a patch with the BART Police name on it?
Yes. Patches with a real agency name such as the BART Police are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation or an authorized purchasing letter first. Custom or renamed designs are welcome without that step.
