Description
This embroidered FTO chevron is the dark navy version of the Chicago Police Department field training designation, with the lettering and trim worked in white so the insignia stands out against the deep field.
Chevron Stripe: A broad slate blue stripe forms the chevron below the pointed peak, outlined in white on both edges so it separates cleanly from the navy field.
Center Lettering: FTO is stitched in bold white block letters inside the open navy space, the brightest element on the patch and easy to read from a distance.
Rocker: A slate blue rocker arcs across the bottom, carrying the same white outline as the stripe above and anchoring the lettering from below.
Shape & Base: The pointed chevron outline is filled in dark navy twill, with a matching navy merrow edge that keeps the border low-key and lets the white details lead.
Embroidery Quality: Full-coverage embroidery on polyester twill gives the slate blue bands a smooth fill and keeps the white outlines sharp at every corner. Order it as shown for the Chicago Police Department, or change the field, band, and lettering colors to match the uniform in your own department.
Compare it with the Chicago Police light blue FTO chevron patch, which uses the same layout on a light blue field, or browse our wider gallery for more law-enforcement insignia.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Patches bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers must provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. We do not sell agency-named patches for personal use.
Custom and fictional designs — for example, a made-up department like “Town of Western Hope Police” — are welcome, as are designs where you change the agency or department name to your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dark navy Chicago Police FTO chevron look like?
It is a pointed chevron patch on a dark navy field with a navy merrow border. A slate blue chevron stripe sits near the top and a slate blue rocker curves along the base, each outlined in white, with FTO in white block letters between them.
How is this chevron different from the light blue version?
The layout is the same, with one chevron, one rocker, and FTO lettering, but the color scheme changes. This version uses a dark navy field with slate blue bands and white lettering, while the light blue version uses a light blue field with royal blue bands and royal blue lettering.
When would a department choose a dark navy chevron?
A dark navy field suits navy uniform shirts, jackets, and outerwear, where a light field would stand out as a separate block. On a dark garment the navy base blends in and the white FTO lettering does the work.
What role does a Field Training Officer have?
A Field Training Officer guides new officers through the field training phase that follows the academy, working alongside them on patrol, documenting their progress, and recommending when they are ready to work on their own. The FTO chevron identifies that trainer on the uniform.
Can the white outlines and lettering be changed?
Yes. The white outline and lettering can be switched to gold, silver-gray, or any thread color, and the bands can match your department colors. We can also add a second stripe or change FTO to another designation, with a free proof first.
Is a credential required to buy this navy FTO chevron?
Not for this design as shown, since it carries only the FTO designation and no department name. If a department name such as the Chicago Police Department is added, the patch is sold only to that department or its authorized buyers, with proof of occupation or an authorized purchasing letter.
