Embroidered Patch Carson City Nevada Sheriff Search and Rescue Seven-Point Star and Department Text

Description

This custom sheriff embroidered patch was designed for the Carson City Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue unit in Nevada, featuring a bold six-point star as both the badge shape and the primary design element — with three lines of gold department text centered within the star field and a curved “Search & Rescue” banner topping the composition — all rendered in gold on a deep forest green twill base.

Shape & Base: Six-point star silhouette — the entire patch outline follows the star shape with each of the six points forming the outer boundary — on deep forest green twill fabric with a bright gold yellow merrowed border edge tracing the full star outline. The star-shaped patch format itself functions as the badge, giving this SAR unit patch an immediate and unmistakable law enforcement identity. Each star point features a rounded ball-tip detail in gold thread.

Top Section: A curved gold banner with dark border spans across the top of the star between the upper-left and upper-right points, arching over the topmost star point with decorative curl or scroll ends. “SEARCH & RESCUE” is embroidered in bold gold block lettering within the banner — the unit designation rendered as the primary top identification element with strong gold-on-dark contrast. The ampersand “&” between “SEARCH” and “RESCUE” gives the banner text a compact, badge-label quality consistent with classic law enforcement unit insignia design.

Center: The six-point star’s interior field is filled with deep forest green twill, providing a clean backdrop for three lines of bold gold embroidered block lettering centered within the star body: “CARSON CITY” on the first line, “SHERIFF DEPT.” on the second line, and “NEVADA” on the third line — the complete jurisdictional identification stacked cleanly from top to bottom within the star’s hexagonal interior field. The lettering style features a slightly stylized Western or classic serif-influenced treatment with individual character flourishes that give the text a distinctive, heritage-inspired quality consistent with Nevada’s frontier law enforcement identity. The three-line text stack fills the star’s interior with good typographic proportion — city name at top, department in the middle, state at bottom.

Bottom Section: No separate bottom text band — the star’s lower three points extend below the center text field, and the “NEVADA” bottom line of the three-line text stack serves as the final identification element. The star’s lower ball-tip points frame the composition at the base without additional text below.

Embroidery Quality: The forest green star-shaped base with all-gold lettering, ball-tip star points, and Search and Rescue curved banner creates a bold, cohesive composition with strong unit identity. The star-shaped patch format is cleanly merrowed in gold thread following the full six-point outline precisely — a technically demanding border treatment that frames the composition with professional precision. The three-line department text is densely stitched with consistent gold coverage and good legibility across all three lines. The stylized Western lettering treatment adds distinctive character. The curved Search and Rescue banner is cleanly stitched with legible text and decorative curl ends. The gold merrowed star-outline border provides a durable, professional finish suited for active search and rescue unit uniform wear.
