Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Dickinson 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 silver eagle-top shield as shown or change the seal colors, the banner wording, and the plating 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 seal colors be changed or lettering added to the ring?

Yes. The seal on this badge is three concentric enamel colors, a red ring, a blue disc and a green wreath, around a plain silver star with no lettering in the ring. We can match those colors to your department, strike lettering into the ring before filling, or replace the seal with your own city, county or state seal from artwork you supply.

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 three seal colors are filled and leveled one at a time so the boundaries stay sharp, and the badge goes to polish once the fill has cured flat.

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

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Dickinson 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.
