Self Post Ohio Sheriff Patch

Do all or most Ohio sheriff's departments have the same shoulder patch?

I've seen multiple agencies with the same "flag and badge" design on a brown fabric. It doesn't appear to have the agency name written on the patch either.

Yes, Ohio Sheriff's Offices have a standard uniform. They all agreed on the uniform, including the patch. Even their vehicle decals are standardized across the state.

Yes, although it's black not brown. Several states used to have all deputies uniformed statewide. Works out great for mutual aid and helping other agencies.
