Seems an odd question with the internet so accessible, but I mostly work in armor or planes so cars, especially 1/16 scale are greel to me.
I do not have the tech to print my own so I figured I would ask here.
I would like to locate custom decals potraying the modern Washinton State Patrol door shields. Anybody have any place that I can look or have them made?
You might want to try to get in touch with Solid Scale. They are in Germany but if you email them they might be able to make some stencels or decals for you.

Maybe drop a note if you don’t find what you’re looking for.
EDIT: is this what you’re looking for? http://www.policecarmodels.com/wastpode.html
It really does not take all that much tech to make dark colored decals for use over a light color paint. Do you have an inkjet printer, and a photo editor on your computer?
Wife says we have an ink jet. Not sure how to get the image from internet to printer.
If you have a printer you probably have a computer. If you are using google images, you click on the image- a larger image then shows up on right side of screen. Right side clicks bring up the “save image” function, which saves the image to the computer. Other image sources may require a different way, like going to save as in the File menu.
on a windows based system:
right click the image
save as a file name, probably in downloads folder
open file name in paint, paint3d, Gimp, or your favorite image program
cut, rotate, resize, or otherwise manipulate the image
to print to decal paper, affix a piece of decal paper over the image you just printed and feed the paper back into your printer paper magazine. It may be reversed from normal print (upside down & backwards).
print your image again. Seal image as necessary.
