Custom Pins for Police Departments, Unions, and Academies

Law enforcement orders pins for occasions that don’t tolerate approximation: a badge replica has to match the badge, a memorial pin has to get the name and the date right, a union pin has to look correct on a dress uniform. Our art team works from your department’s actual insignia — send a patch, a badge photo, or a crest and the proof comes back faithful to it.

Badge and Rank Pins

Die-struck badge replicas in antique silver or gold read as miniature versions of the real thing — the detention officer and deputy sheriff pins above are both struck from department artwork. Rank and years-of-service variants let a department run one design across every grade.

Memorial, Academy, and Union Pins

Memorial pins for line-of-duty losses, academy graduation class pins, and union membership pins are the other three orders we see most. All three tend to be reordered year over year, and we keep your mold on file so the second run costs less than the first.

K9, SWAT, and Specialty Unit Pins

Specialty units order pins the way they order patches — as identity. K9 handler pins with the dog’s name, SWAT and tactical unit insignia, marine and aviation units, honor guard pins, and task-force designs all reproduce from unit artwork, usually die struck in black nickel or antique silver. Where the unit’s emblem is detailed beyond what enamel can hold, offset printing reproduces it photographically.

Retirement and Years of Service

A retirement pin is the one order where nobody argues about the budget. Departments mark 5 through 30-plus years with a base design and a changed year band — the same mold serving every milestone — and the retirement piece itself steps up to cloisonné, polished flush and boxed. The mechanics are the same as years of service pins anywhere else; the difference is the badge on it.

Community and Support Pins

Not every police pin is worn by an officer. Citizens academy graduation pins, community outreach giveaways, National Night Out designs, and awareness and remembrance pins worn by families and supporters all come through the same door — most in soft enamel full color, and flag-and-badge combinations through the same artwork process as flag pins. For memorial designs, the proof carries the name and date exactly as the department signs off on them.
