Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the LAPD Sergeant II and Sergeant I insignia?

Both carry three downward-pointing chevrons, but the Sergeant II insignia adds a single curved rocker below the chevrons. The three chevrons mark the sergeant grade and the rocker raises it to Sergeant II, so the rocker is the only visual difference between the two patches.

What does the rocker on the Sergeant II patch mean?

The rocker is the curved arc stitched beneath the three chevrons. In the Los Angeles Police Department rank system it marks the senior Sergeant II step above Sergeant I. It is embroidered in silver to match the chevrons and is the defining element of this insignia.

Can you embroider the chevrons and rocker as a matched pair for both sleeves?

Yes. Like other rank insignia, the Sergeant II chevron-and-rocker is worn on both sleeves and is commonly ordered in pairs. There is no setup fee and low minimum-quantity pricing, so ordering matched sets for a sergeant or a group is straightforward - request a quote with your quantity.

Can you change the colors of the chevrons or the rocker?

Yes. The silver-on-black shown here is standard, but the chevrons, the rocker, and the twill field can each be recolored - for example gold elements, a navy ground, or subdued tones for a low-visibility uniform. A free proof is provided before production so you can confirm the look.

What size is the Sergeant II rank patch?

Rank insignia are made small enough to sit on a uniform sleeve, typically in the 2 to 4 inch range. Because this design stacks a rocker under three chevrons, we confirm the proportions at your chosen size on the free proof so the chevrons and rocker stay clearly separated.

Do I need credentials to order an LAPD Sergeant II rank insignia?

Yes. Insignia tied to a real department such as the Los Angeles Police Department are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Generic or fictional rank designs, and insignia for your own department, are welcome without that step.
