Shoulder Patch Requests
Question: How can I request an Ohio State Highway Patrol shoulder patch?

Answer: Due to increasing security concerns, the Ohio State Highway Patrol is significantly restricting distribution of uniform shoulder patches. This decision is consistent with an emerging national trend in law enforcement to limit distribution of shoulder patches only to law enforcement professionals representing a law enforcement agency. The Ohio State Highway Patrol does not provide patches to the general public. Patch requests are provided only to law enforcement professionals representing a law enforcement agency in North America. Requests must be submitted on the agency's official department letterhead to:
	Ohio State Highway Patrol Strategic Services Section 1970 West Broad Street Columbus, OH 43223

Highway Help - 1-877-7-PATROL (from Ohio only)
PO Box 182074 - 1970 W. Broad St. - Columbus, OH 43223
