Shape & Base: Classic shield shape approximately 4″ tall with rounded shoulders and pointed bottom, featuring a deep navy blue twill base with bright gold merrowed border edge that creates a bold, tactical appearance befitting an elite unit.

Top Section: “SWAT” spans prominently across the upper portion in bold gold block lettering, immediately identifying this as a Special Weapons and Tactics team patch. A gold horizontal bar separates the text from the main design below.

Center: A striking silver combat sword points downward through the center of the design—the traditional symbol of military precision, decisive action, and the readiness to protect and serve in dangerous situations. Two gold diagonal lines cross behind the sword, adding dynamic visual movement and representing swift tactical response. Below the sword, gold airborne or paratrooper-style wings spread outward, symbolizing rapid deployment capability, specialized training, and the elite status of tactical operators.

Bottom Section: “APD” appears in gold lettering near the shield’s point, identifying the specific police department this tactical unit serves.

Embroidery Quality: The patch demonstrates excellent stitch density with clean detail throughout the navy, gold, and silver palette. The sword features precise metallic-effect stitching with accurate hilt and blade definition, while the airborne wings display realistic feather-like curves. The diagonal lines create visual depth, and the gold merrowed border ensures durability for tactical uniform wear.
