About the 6 point star badge with ribbon
The ribbon across the top lets this star carry a rank or title separately from the agency name, which most six-point stars cannot do. Ball tips on all six points give it a traditional finish and a softer outline on a uniform.
Use the ribbon for a title such as deputy chief, the ring for the department and city, and the bottom panel for stars or a number. Build it in the TrueBadge Designer or request a quote; law-enforcement badges require agency verification.
