If you're a member of the highway patrol, you may want to put a Highway Patrol Patch on your jacket. This patch, listed in the Police Patches category, features the highway patrol logo most often used in New York. The highway patrol is actually a branch or, in some cases another name for, the state police agency. Some highway patrols are specifically charged with enforcing traffic laws but are not police agencies. Others have broader duties such as serving as deputies and bailiffs in courtrooms.
The logo featured on this patch is used based on the New York logo, although it's slightly different. The New York logo isn't round, while this patch is. The arrow on the New York logo sticks out beyond the circle, plus it has an arch at the top with 'NYC Police' on it. This patch is more generic so it can be worn by anyone in any state.
Since this logo has no state name and is different from the New York logo, most people won't believe you're an actual highway patrol officer if you wear one. In fact, that's why these patches can be sold, impersonating an officer can, of course, get you into a lot of trouble! This generic patch can be worn by anyone, though, as long as you don't try to trick people.
This circular patch has a 2.5 inch diameter and fits nicely on a jacket shoulder or the front of a vest. It has a thick orange border that makes it easy to sew it on to leather, plus it can be ironed on to other materials. There are two options, one patch has a blue background, while the new version has black. Once all the blue ones are sold, that color won't be available any more.
