About the starburst cross badge
Few badge shapes combine an eagle with a starburst; here the rays fan out in four directions so the badge reads as a cross from a distance and a sunburst up close. The ring lettering wraps a large seal, and the short banner under the eagle keeps the rank separate from the agency name.
Order it from the TrueBadge Designer at the tiered price, or request a quote to change the seal or ring text — the free proof arrives within 4 hours. Agency verification is required for law-enforcement badges.
