Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Danbury Police design?

Yes. Owl Badges produces custom die-struck metal badges for police departments, sheriff’s offices, and constable offices nationwide. You can order this two-tone oval style as shown or change the motto words, the seal, the flags, the rank line, and the plating split to fit your own department. Badges carrying a real agency name require credential verification before production.

What is the minimum order for a police badge like this?

There is a low minimum order. Single badges are available for individual officers, and per-piece pricing drops sharply as quantity rises, which makes larger runs practical for an entire department or a promotion cycle at once.

Can the four motto words on the field be changed?

Yes. The four motto words on this badge are struck directly into the sunburst field around the star rather than on a ring or banner, with black fill so they read against the gold. We can strike your own words in the same four positions, run two or three instead of four, or move the motto onto an enamel ring around the star if you want color behind it.

How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at a single piece down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes. There is no setup fee and no mold fee. Final pricing depends on the finished design, size, and quantity, and is confirmed with a free quote.

How long does production take?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks for tooling, striking, enamel fill, plating, and finishing after your proof is approved. The raised flags are the slow part, since each fold has to hold its shape through striking and the enamel has to follow the contour without pooling, and the silver rim and map plate are masked before the second plating pass.

Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Danbury Police name on it?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Danbury police buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or fictional department designs, and designs where you substitute your own agency name, are welcome without that step.
