About the sunburst eagle top shield badge
This is the shape most people picture when they think of a police badge: a tall shield under a spread eagle, with a sunburst face and a heavy reef edge. What makes this style stand out is the size of the seal well — at about 38% of the face it is one of the larger centers on an eagle top, so detailed state seals stay legible.
The two upper panels curve with the shield for a rank and a department name, the lower arc carries a city or unit, and the bottom panel can show rank stars or a number. Customize it in the TrueBadge Designer and order at the live price, or send your details for a free proof first.
