Description
This embroidered patch features the Memphis Police Department insignia, the shoulder patch of the department located in Memphis, Tennessee. It is built as a pointed shield on a navy-blue twill ground, finished with a gold merrowed border, with a justice emblem and a winged crest worked at the center.
Center: The dominant element is a circular gold sunburst medallion ringed with JUSTICE across the top and PROTECTION across the bottom. Inside the ring a light center scene carries a set of balance scales beside a brown cross, with a white gloved hand at the lower center, green laurel at the left, and a red serpent-staff accent at the right – an allegory of justice and protection at the heart of the design.
Top Section: MEMPHIS POLICE DEPT. arches across the top of the shield in gold block letters, reading clearly against the navy ground.
Crest: Below the lettering, a pair of gold wings fans out horizontally with a small crown above the central medallion, giving the patch a heraldic, layered crest.
Shape & Base: The patch is a pointed shield – rounded shoulders tapering to a point at the base – on a navy-blue twill ground, edged with a gold merrowed border for a clean, uniform-ready outline. The navy field sets off the gold wings, sunburst ring, and lettering.
Embroidery Quality: Full-coverage stitching with high stitch density holds the fine detail of the justice emblem, the spread wings and sunburst rays, the curved ring lettering, and the gold top lettering with sharp, even edges and a durable surface that stands up to daily uniform wear and laundering.
This is one of a series of police department patches in the gallery. Compare it with other major-city designs, the Miami-Dade Police Department patch, the Houston Police Department patch, and the Boston Police Department patch.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Patches 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 patches 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
What is shown on the Memphis Police Department patch?
The patch is a navy-blue pointed shield with a gold border. MEMPHIS POLICE DEPT. arches across the top in gold, with a pair of gold wings and a small crown below it. At the center is a gold sunburst medallion ringed by JUSTICE and PROTECTION, holding an emblem of balance scales, a cross, and a gloved hand. Owl Badges reproduces it as an embroidered shoulder patch.
What does the emblem in the center of the Memphis Police patch mean?
The central emblem is an allegory of justice and protection. It shows a set of balance scales beside a cross, with a white gloved hand, green laurel, and a red serpent-staff accent. Ringed by the words JUSTICE and PROTECTION, it expresses the department mission, and we reproduce the scene in detailed stitching.
What do the words JUSTICE and PROTECTION mean on the patch?
JUSTICE arches across the top of the central sunburst medallion and PROTECTION across the bottom, framing the emblem inside. The two words sum up the department role, and we letter them in gold exactly as they appear on the ring.
Can you build a custom shield patch with wings and a justice emblem like this?
Yes. A pointed shield with an arched department name, a winged crest, and a ringed central emblem is a strong, traditional police layout, and we can adapt it for your own agency - your emblem in the medallion and your motto in the ring. A free proof is provided before production so you can confirm every detail.
What size is the Memphis Police Department shoulder patch?
Shoulder patches like this are typically made in the 4 to 5 inch range so the arched lettering, the spread wings, and the detailed justice emblem stay legible on a uniform sleeve. Because the emblem carries 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 Memphis Police Department name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Memphis 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.
