Description
The Mathis Police Department serves the gateway town to Lake Corpus Christi in San Patricio County, on the I-37 run between San Antonio and the Coastal Bend. This chief badge pairs command formality with real graphic punch: a gold eagle-topped shield whose sunburst field is cut in black, throwing the blue Texas map at its center into sharp relief.
Shape and Base: The shield rises to a sculpted eagle across the crown, with laurel wreath branches climbing both edges and a beaded inner line framing the field. Between the gold rays, the recessed ground is filled black — a spoke pattern that gives this badge contrast most gold shields never reach.
Center Design: A blue enamel map of Texas carries a large gold five-point star mounted at its center, and set into the star is a gold seal medallion ringed THE STATE OF TEXAS around the lone star and wreath. Map, star, and seal stack into a single centerpiece framed by the black-and-gold rays.
Banner Lettering: CHIEF crosses the crown ribbon in black block letters, MATHIS POLICE arcs beneath the map, and the base panel carries the badge number 8101 — struck for the individual officer, a personalization every badge in your order can carry.
Tonal Detail: The palette is three notes deep: polished gold across the shield, eagle, and wreath, black in the ray recesses and lettering, and the blue enamel map as the single field of color. It reads as a command badge from across a room.
Finish Quality: Each badge is die-struck in solid metal, plated in gold, filled with blue and black enamel, and fitted with a pin-back and safety clasp. For the county counterpart on the same San Patricio rolls, see the San Patricio County Constable 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 each officer get an individual badge number like the 8101 on this Mathis design?
Yes. The base panel is struck per badge, so an order of any size can carry a unique number for every officer — sequential, seniority-based, or matching your existing roster numbers — at no added tooling cost. The artwork team confirms the full number list on your proof before production begins.
Can you do the black sunburst background shown between the gold rays?
Yes. Cutting the recessed field in black enamel while the rays stay polished gold is a finishing technique this die is built for, and it is what gives the badge its high-contrast spoke pattern. The recess color can also run navy, dark green, or department colors instead of black.
How much does a chief badge like this cost?
Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. Individual numbering and the enamel work are included in that range, and final pricing is confirmed with a free quote.
What is the production time for a numbered badge order?
Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, whether the order carries one number or a full department roster. The window covers die tooling, striking, gold plating, the blue and black enamel fills, and per-badge number striking at the base panel.
Can the CHIEF title and the map centerpiece be adapted for our agency?
Yes. The crown ribbon re-letters to any rank or title, MATHIS POLICE changes to your own agency name, and the blue Texas map can be swapped for your state outline or replaced with a seal-only center. Every variation strikes from the same shield die for a uniform set.
Do we need credentials to order a badge with a real city name on it?
Yes. Badges bearing a real agency or department name 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. Fictional or fully customized designs with your own name are welcome without that step.
