Description
This embroidered patch features the New York City Correction Department insignia on a navy shield with a red merrow border. CORRECTION DEPARTMENT arches across the top in white block lettering, with CITY OF and NEW YORK curving along the lower edges. At the center, a gold gear ring frames a light-blue disc carrying balance scales, an outspread eagle, and a blue heraldic shield with two crossed gold keys. Produced in full-coverage embroidery on polyester twill, it reproduces the gear teeth, feather detail, and crossed-key shield cleanly at shoulder size. Order it as shown for the New York City Correction Department, or customize the colors, lettering, border, and emblem for your own agency. There is no setup fee and no minimum-quantity barrier.

🛡 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 New York City Correction Department patch?
The patch is a navy shield with a red border. CORRECTION DEPARTMENT is lettered across the top in white, with CITY OF and NEW YORK arched along the lower sides. At the center a gold gear ring surrounds balance scales, an eagle, and a blue shield bearing two crossed gold keys.
What do the crossed keys and eagle in the center mean?
The crossed keys are a long-standing symbol of custody and security, fitting for a corrections agency. The eagle and balance scales above them represent authority and justice. Together they form the emblem of the New York City Correction Department, the agency that runs the city jail system.
Is this the same as the New York State corrections patch?
No. This is the New York City Correction Department, the municipal agency that operates the city jails. The New York State Correctional Services patch is a separate statewide agency with a different emblem - the full state coat of arms rather than this gear-and-keys crest.
Can you make a custom shoulder patch like this for our agency?
Yes. A navy shield with a colored border, arched lettering, and a central crest is a flexible template. Our artwork team can swap the agency name, emblem, colors, and border to match your department, with a free proof before production.
How much does a patch like this cost, and what is the minimum order?
Estimated pricing runs from about $17 each at 10 units down to roughly $2 each at 1,000 units, with no setup or mold fee. The minimum order starts as low as 10 pieces, so smaller runs for specialty units are welcome.
Do I need credentials to order a patch with the New York City Correction Department name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the New York City Correction Department are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Corrections, law-enforcement, and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or renamed designs are welcome without that step.
