Description
This embroidered patch features the Penn State University Police insignia on a navy field cut to a square shape with rounded corners, located at Penn State University in University Park, Pennsylvania, with a white merrow border framing the design.
Top Section: The PENN STATE wordmark sits across the upper portion in the university’s distinctive white serif lettering, with a thin horizontal line running beneath the words.
Center: Below the wordmark sits the Penn State shield logo, a light-blue shield carrying the Nittany Lion silhouette at the top and the founding year 1855 across the middle.
Bottom Section: POLICE spans the lower portion of the patch in large white block letters, naming the department.
Shape & Base: The patch is a square cut with rounded corners in full-coverage navy twill, with a white merrow edge that frames the wordmark and shield in strong contrast.
Embroidery Quality: Produced in full-coverage embroidery on polyester twill, it holds the fine detail of the serif wordmark, the Nittany Lion shield, and the block lettering cleanly. Order it as shown for the Penn State University Police, or customize the colors, lettering, border, and logo for your own campus agency.

🛡 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 Penn State University Police patch?
It is a navy square patch with a white border. The PENN STATE wordmark sits across the top and POLICE spans the bottom, both in white. Between them is the Penn State shield logo, a light-blue shield with the Nittany Lion and the 1855 founding date.
What is the animal on the shield?
The silhouette on the shield is the Nittany Lion, the mascot of Penn State University. It is one of the most recognizable college mascots in the country and anchors the school's shield logo on this patch.
What does the date 1855 stand for?
1855 is the founding year of Penn State University. It is embroidered across the middle of the light-blue shield logo, just below the Nittany Lion, on the police patch.
Can you make a custom square campus police patch like this for our department?
Yes. A square patch with a wordmark, a shield logo, and block lettering is a flexible template. Our artwork team can swap the wordmark, mascot, university name, colors, and border to match your campus 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 a specialty unit are welcome.
Do I need credentials to order a patch with the Penn State University Police name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Penn State University Police are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. University police and campus-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.
