Description
The Hot Springs Police Department serves Hot Springs, a resort city in Garland County in central Arkansas, known for the thermal springs of Hot Springs National Park. This badge carries the Arkansas Great Seal at its center.
Shape & Base: A brushed silver shield forms the body of the badge, narrowing to a rounded point at the bottom. A spread-winged eagle with detailed feather engraving and a downturned head perches at the crest, silver laurel branches curve up both sides from the base with each leaf struck separately, and a stippled silver field fills the face behind the banners.
Center: A circular medallion sits at the heart of the shield. A gold ring band carries fine raised lettering reading GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE OF ARKANSAS around its circumference, flanked by gold laurel sprays at either side. Inside runs the full-color Arkansas seal: an eagle above a shield, a figure of Liberty at center, and supporting figures worked in blue, red, and gold against a pale ground.
Banner Lettering: Four gold scroll banners carry the text, each with folded ends. POLICE OFFICER crosses the top in raised blue letters, HOT SPRINGS runs on a wider scroll below it, POLICE spans the lower shield in large letters, and ARKANSAS closes beneath it. Every letter is raised gold filled with blue enamel against the gold banners.
Tonal Detail: The badge splits between two metals. Brushed silver carries the shield body, the eagle, the laurel, and the stippled field, while polished gold carries the four banners and the seal ring. Blue enamel is held to the banner lettering, and full color appears only inside the seal, so the eagle and laurel read as silver relief while the banners and seal frame carry the gold.
Finish Quality: The silver-to-gold split gives the badge its hierarchy: the gold banners and seal ring pull the eye to the text and the center while the silver body and wreath stay quieter behind them. The stippled field keeps the banners from floating flat, and the seal is struck fine enough to hold the eagle, the shield, and the standing figures at the diameter it sits at. For another two-tone shield badge with a full-color state seal, see the Nampa Police Officer badge.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Badges 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 badges 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
Can I order a custom metal badge like the Hot Springs Police design?
Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for police departments nationwide. This eagle-topped shield style can be ordered as shown, or the seal, the rank line, and the four banners can be changed to your own city and state. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.
Can you plate the banners gold while keeping the shield silver?
Yes. This badge runs a brushed silver body with all four banners and the seal ring in gold, which pulls the eye to the lettering and the seal against the quieter silver. Two-tone plating is struck into the same die, so we can place the gold wherever it frames your design and confirm the split on your proof.
Can you carry four lines of banner text on one shield?
Yes. This badge stacks a rank banner, a city banner, a department line, and a state banner down the face, with the seal set between them. Four banners is about the practical maximum on a shield this size, and we lay them out against your actual wording on the proof so you can see the spacing before any tooling is cut.
How long does production take for a badge like this?
Custom metal badges take approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering tooling, striking, plating, and finishing. A two-tone badge with struck laurel, four banners, a stippled field, and a multi-color seal sits toward the longer end of that window. Your design is confirmed on a free proof before any tooling is cut.
How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?
Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at single quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. Two-tone plating, the laurel detail, and the number of enamel colors in the seal place a badge like this at the detailed end of the range. Final pricing is confirmed with a free quote.
Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Hot Springs Police name on it?
Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Hot Springs Police Department — are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives, and require proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter. If you change the seal and department name to your own, no credentials are needed.
