Description
This embroidered patch features the Milwaukee Police Department insignia, the shoulder patch of the department located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is built as a pointed shield on a navy-blue twill ground, finished with a gold merrowed border, with the City of Milwaukee seal medallion worked at the center.
Center: The dominant element is a circular gold-ringed medallion. CITY OF arches across the top of the ring and MILWAUKEE across the bottom, with the founding date 1846 split to either side. Inside, on a light-blue ground, sits the City of Milwaukee seal – an industrial lakefront scene with a gear, a ship on the water, factory structures, and a sheaf of wheat – the city emblem of industry and commerce.
Top Section: POLICE arches across the top of the shield in large gold block letters, reading clearly against the navy ground.
Bottom Point: A single gold five-point star sits at the base of the shield, just below the medallion, anchoring the design at the point.
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 lettering, ring, and star and frames the colorful seal at the center.
Embroidery Quality: Full-coverage stitching with high stitch density holds the fine detail of the city seal, its gear, ship, and wheat, the curved ring lettering and split date, the gold POLICE lettering, and the star 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 Midwest designs, the Chicago Police Department patch, the Detroit Police Department patch, and the Columbus 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 Milwaukee Police Department patch?
The patch is a navy-blue pointed shield with a gold border. POLICE arches across the top in large gold letters. At the center is a gold-ringed medallion reading CITY OF and MILWAUKEE with the date 1846 split to either side, holding the City of Milwaukee seal - an industrial lakefront scene with a gear, a ship, and a sheaf of wheat. A gold star sits at the point. Owl Badges reproduces it as an embroidered shoulder patch.
What is the seal in the center of the Milwaukee Police patch?
It is the City of Milwaukee seal, set on a light-blue ground inside the central ring. It shows an industrial lakefront scene - a gear, a ship on the water, factory structures, and a sheaf of wheat - symbols of the city industry and commerce. We reproduce the seal in detailed stitching as the focal point of the design.
What does 1846 mean on the Milwaukee Police patch?
1846 is the year the City of Milwaukee was founded, and it is lettered into the central ring, split to either side of the seal. It ties the department insignia to the city history, and we reproduce the date exactly as it appears.
Can you build a custom shield patch with a city seal and a star like this?
Yes. A pointed shield with POLICE arched on top, a ringed central city seal with a founding date, and a star at the point is a strong, traditional municipal layout, and we can adapt it for your own agency - your city seal in the medallion and your date in the ring. A free proof is provided before production so you can confirm every detail.
What size is the Milwaukee Police Department shoulder patch?
Shoulder patches like this are typically made in the 4 to 5 inch range so the POLICE lettering, the ring text and 1846 date, and the detailed city seal stay legible on a uniform sleeve. Because the seal 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 Milwaukee Police Department name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Milwaukee 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.
