Description
This embroidered patch features the Chicago Transit Authority Police insignia on a white field cut to an octagon shape, with a maroon merrow border framing the design.
Center: The CTA logo sits at the heart of the patch. A maroon oval carries the lowercase cta lettering, with a set of horizontal speed lines trailing off to the left.
Logo Detail: The mark is the long-standing emblem of the Chicago Transit Authority, reproduced here in clean maroon embroidery against the white field, keeping the oval and the trailing lines crisp.
Top Section: CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY arches across the top of the patch in maroon lettering that follows the curve of the octagon.
Bottom Section: POLICE spans the lower portion in large maroon block letters, naming the agency.
Shape & Base: The octagon is worked in full-coverage white twill, with a maroon merrow edge that frames the central logo in strong contrast.
Embroidery Quality: Produced in full-coverage embroidery on polyester twill, it holds the fine detail of the oval, the speed lines, and the lettering cleanly. Order it as shown for the CTA Police, or customize the colors, lettering, border, and logo 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.
