Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a badge with a bridge and skyline like this Laredo design?

Yes. This badge spans its shield with a multi-arch bridge and sets the city skyline behind it, all struck in relief. A river crossing, skyline, or landmark group from your own city can be built into the die the same way.

Can a scene with this much detail hold at badge size?

Yes. The arches, water lines, rooflines and tower detail are cut into the die during tooling, and the sunburst rays behind the scene give the silhouette something to read against. Detail at that scale holds cleanly on a duty badge.

Can you change the founding date and ring lettering?

Yes. CITY OF LAREDO EST. 1755 arcs beneath the bridge and takes your own city name and founding year, or it can carry a motto or division wording instead. You receive a free proof before any tooling begins.

Can the rank banner and badge number be customized?

Yes. The CHIEF banner takes any rank and the 1234 base panel takes any badge number or an officer name. Departments often run one die with the number panel varied across the order.

How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing ranges from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes. There is no setup fee and no mold fee, and there is a low minimum order. Detailed scene work adds no extra cost or lead time.

Do I need credentials to order a Laredo Police badge?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name such as the Laredo Police Department are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production. Custom or renamed designs for your own department are welcome without that step.
