Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department patch?

The patch is a dark olive-green shield with a gold border. LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT arches across the top in gold. At the center is a gold seven-point star with a blue seal reading METROPOLITAN POLICE and a large 50, crossed flags behind it, and a POLICE banner. A LAS VEGAS, NV. banner and the dates 1973 - 2023 run across the bottom. Owl Badges reproduces it as an embroidered shoulder patch.

What does the 50 on the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police patch mean?

The large 50 in the center seal, paired with the 1973 - 2023 dates along the bottom, marks the 50th anniversary of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. It is a commemorative version of the department insignia, and we reproduce the anniversary seal and dates exactly as shown.

What is the seven-point star on the Las Vegas police patch?

The seven-point star is the classic Western law-enforcement star, embroidered in gold as the centerpiece of the patch. It carries the blue department seal at its heart and is backed by crossed flags, with a smaller gold star to each side - a traditional Western sheriff-and-police motif worked in fine detail.

Can you build a custom anniversary or commemorative patch like this one?

Yes. A commemorative patch with an anniversary year or milestone number, a central star or seal, and dated banners is a popular request, and we can adapt this layout for your own agency - your star or seal, your anniversary number and date span, and your department name. A free proof is provided before production so you can confirm every detail.

What size is the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police shoulder patch?

Shoulder patches like this are typically made in the 4 to 5 inch range so the star, the seal lettering, the arched name, and the dates stay legible on a uniform sleeve. Because the seal and crossed flags carry fine detail, we confirm the proportions at your chosen size on the free proof so everything stays crisp.

Do I need credentials to order a patch with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department name on it?

Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or fictional department designs, and patches renamed to your own department, are welcome without that step.
