Patch Carabinieri Forensic Unit

Product overview

The Patch Carabinieri Investigazioni Scientifiche is an official round embroidered badge made for Carabinieri personnel assigned to forensic and scientific investigations. It is designed for the tuta operativa (tuta OP) and for authorized collectors who hold the required license.

Definition: a 9 cm embroidered identification patch that visually identifies members of the Raggruppamento Carabinieri Investigazioni Scientifiche. Useful for tactical, duty and police uniform configurations where clear unit ID is required.

Main features

Clear, durable and regulation-aware design built for operational use and long-term wear.

• Round embroidered patch, diameter 9 cm for good readability at distance.
• Red textile background with yellow, grey and black stitched details for high contrast.
• High-density embroidery using resistant polyester thread to withstand frequent washing and abrasion.
• Primary sewn application for a permanent fit; a velcro-backed option is also offered in the product menu.
• No velcro by default to reduce bulk and risk of accidental detachment during active duty.
• Robust edge finish to limit fraying and preserve shape in intensive use.

How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: the patch is intended to be permanently sewn onto the operational jacket or designated textile panels of the tuta OP, in the positions indicated by unit rules (sleeve, chest or panel).

In most cases, operators wear it to show official membership in RaCIS during scene-of-crime work, lab duties and when providing technical support to the judicial authority. It also helps other forces and institutional partners recognise technical-science personnel quickly.

Care and notes

Simple care and operational notes to keep the patch readable and compliant.

• Wash as part of the garment; embroidery and fabric are chosen for repeated laundering, but follow garment care instructions.
• Designed for sewing: a permanent application is recommended for operational use; velcro variants are available if required by the unit.
• Sale is restricted: available to active military personnel (with ID) and to collectors only with a valid licenza prefettizia ex art. 28 TULPS.
• Follow internal unit regulations for exact placement on the tuta OP and other uniform items.
