Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the Temple University Police patch?

It is a navy Pennsylvania keystone shape with a black border. TEMPLE UNIVERSITY arches across the top in gold and POLICE sits at the bottom. At the center is the Pennsylvania state coat of arms in white — two rampant horses, a central shield, and an eagle — with the red Temple T logo just below it.

Why is this patch shaped like a keystone?

The keystone is the official symbol of Pennsylvania, the Keystone State. Temple University Police is based in Philadelphia, so the keystone shape ties the campus agency to its home state, with the Pennsylvania coat of arms reinforcing that connection at the center.

What is the white crest in the middle of the patch?

That is the Pennsylvania state coat of arms: two rampant horses flank a shield showing a ship, a plow, and wheat sheaves, with a bald eagle above and a banner below. It is the same heraldry used on the state seal, rendered here in white and silver embroidery.

Can you make a custom campus police keystone patch like this for our department?

Yes. The Pennsylvania keystone with arched lettering and a central crest is a flexible template. Our artwork team can swap the crest, university name, logo, 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 Temple University Police name on it?

Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Temple 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.
