Description
This shield police embroidered patch features a striking patriotic design celebrating both American and Iowa heritage, designed for the Ankeny Police Department—serving one of Iowa’s fastest-growing cities in Polk County, part of the thriving Des Moines metropolitan area.
Shape & Base: Classic shield/tombstone shape approximately 4.5″ tall with rounded shoulders and pointed bottom, featuring a deep navy blue twill base with bright gold merrowed border edge that creates a distinguished, authoritative appearance.
Top Section: “ANKENY” arches across the upper portion in bold gold block lettering, followed by “POLICE” in matching gold text below, establishing clear municipal and departmental identification against the navy background.
Center: A magnificent bald eagle dominates the center with wings spread wide in the classic American heraldic posture. The eagle features a detailed white head with yellow beak and rich brown body plumage. Two flags cross beneath the eagle—the American flag with red and white stripes and blue star field waves proudly on the left, while the Iowa state flag displaying the French-inspired tricolor of blue, white, and red with the state eagle and “IOWA” banner waves on the right. Red laurel branches frame the entire composition on both sides, symbolizing honor and distinguished service.
Bottom Section: A gold ribbon banner displays “EST 1903” commemorating the department’s founding, with “IOWA” appearing in bold gold block lettering at the base as the shield tapers to its point.
Embroidery Quality: The patch demonstrates exceptional stitch density with vibrant color saturation throughout the navy, gold, red, white, and blue palette. The eagle features impressive feather detail with realistic head and wing rendering, while both flags display accurate pattern work. The red laurel branches add elegant framing, and the gold merrowed border ensures durability for daily patrol wear.
