Shape & Base: Classic tombstone/keystone shape (wider at top, tapering toward bottom) approximately 4.5″ tall, featuring a deep navy blue twill base with black merrowed border edge that creates a bold, distinguished appearance.

Top Section: A red oval at the apex displays “USA” in white lettering, flanked by graceful green laurel branches extending outward. Below, a curved gold banner displays “ARMSTRONG” in navy blue block lettering, with a smaller gold banner beneath showing “IOWA” completing the municipal identification.

Center: A magnificent brown horse head in profile dominates the center, rendered in exceptional detail with rich brown and tan thread tones capturing the flowing mane and noble features of this powerful stallion. The realistic equestrian portrait reflects Iowa’s agricultural heritage and frontier spirit. Two flags cross beneath the horse—the American flag with red and white stripes waves on the left, while the Iowa state flag displaying the eagle and tricolor design waves on the right. “PROTECT” curves along the left side and “SERVE” along the right in red block lettering, expressing the department’s core mission.

Bottom Section: A curved gold banner displays “POLICE” in navy blue block lettering, with small green laurel branch accents below as the patch tapers to its base.
