Description
This shield police embroidered patch features a striking tribute to valor and sacrifice in law enforcement, designed for the Abingdon Police Department—serving the historic Knox County community in western Illinois established in 1857.
Shape & Base: Classic shield/tombstone shape approximately 4.5″ tall with rounded top and pointed bottom, featuring a deep navy blue twill base with silver/gray merrowed border edge that creates a distinguished, professional appearance.
Top Section: “ABINGDON” spans across the upper portion in bold white block lettering, followed by “POLICE” below with “IL” cleverly integrated between the letters, establishing clear municipal and state identification.
Center: An elaborate memorial composition dominates the design. Two crossed flags anchor the upper center—a Thin Blue Line American flag on the left representing law enforcement solidarity, and the traditional American flag on the right, both rendered in accurate red, white, blue, and black thread detail. Golden crossed implements appear behind the flags. “EST. 1857” commemorates the town’s founding date. Below, a prominent Medal of Honor shield police patch with spread eagle and crossed American Illinois flags-style decoration features a light blue shield with white stars, suspended from a blue and gold ribbon displaying “VALOR” across its face. Additional ribbons bearing the names “DUNLAP” and “STOCKDALE” honor specific individuals, with a gold star badge completing the memorial tribute.
Bottom Section: The Latin motto “per angusta ad augusta” curves elegantly along the lower portion—translating to “through difficulties to greatness”—expressing the department’s resilient spirit as the shield tapers to its point.
Embroidery Quality: The patch demonstrates exceptional stitch density. Request a quote for this style with impressive detail throughout the complex memorial design.
