Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the Houston Metro Police patch?

It is a brown bell-shaped patch with a gold border. METRO TRANSIT arches across the top and POLICE spans the bottom, both in gold. The center holds a State of Texas emblem with the Lone Star, laurel branches, and a row of small gold stars.

What is the emblem in the middle?

It is a State of Texas emblem. A red ring reading THE STATE OF TEXAS surrounds a single silver Lone Star with gold laurel branches, marking the patch as a Texas transit agency. A row of five gold stars sits below.

Who are the Houston Metro Police?

They are the transit police of the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, known as Houston METRO, which runs bus and light rail service in the Houston area. The patch names them METRO TRANSIT POLICE.

What does the Lone Star mean?

The single five-pointed star is the Lone Star of Texas, the long-standing symbol of the state. It sits at the center of the emblem, tying the transit police patch to Texas.

Can you make a custom transit or public safety patch like this for our agency?

Yes. A bell shape with a central state emblem and arched lettering is a flexible template. We can swap the emblem, agency name, colors, and border to fit your department, with a free proof before production.

Do I need credentials to order a patch with the Houston Metro Police name on it?

Yes. Patches with a real agency name such as the Houston Metro Police are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation or an authorized purchasing letter first. Custom or renamed designs are welcome without that step.
