Custom Sheriff Department Patches for Deputies and Divisions
Sheriff's offices commonly order:
- Deputy shoulder patches for patrol and command staff
- Detention and corrections division patches
- Court security and civil process patches
- Marine, mounted and aviation unit patches
- Reserve deputy, volunteer and posse patches
- Search and rescue team patches run by the sheriff's office
A patch family uses a shared core design — the star, county name and colors — with a division name in a tab or bottom rocker. This keeps every uniform recognizable as part of the office while clearly identifying roles.
Star and county artwork
Many sheriff patches feature a seven-pointed star, county seal or local landmarks. We can rebuild older artwork into clean vector files that are easier to reproduce on patches, decals and signage. Official designs are produced only for the sheriff's office or individuals it authorizes.
Common patch applications
- Deputy shoulder patches
- Corrections and detention patches
- Court security and civil process patches
- Marine, mounted and aviation units
- Reserve, volunteer and posse patches
Recommended sizes & shapes
Shoulder patches typically measure 3.5 × 4.5 inches or larger. Division tabs are about 1 × 3.5 inches; star-shaped chest patches can be laser cut to follow the star outline.
Durability
Deputies wear patches in harsh conditions and on frequently washed uniforms. Embroidered or woven patches with sewn attachment provide the longest life.
Design considerations
Plan a patch family so divisions share the same base design. Metallic gold thread is popular for stars and borders. County seals often include small details best reproduced with woven construction.
