Frequently Asked Questions

What does the navy Chicago Police sergeant chevron look like?

It is a navy chevron patch with a navy merrow border and three navy stripes, each outlined in thin white lines. The patch is cut to the stripe outline, with a pointed top and a notched base, and carries no lettering.

How does this navy sergeant chevron compare to the grey and black version?

Both carry three stripes in the same stripe-cut shape. This version uses navy stripes with white outlines on a navy field, while the grey and black version uses silver-grey stripes on a black field with no outlines, for a more subdued look.

Why outline the stripes in white instead of using a contrasting stripe color?

Outlining keeps the patch tone-on-tone with a navy uniform while still defining each stripe. The white lines give the rank a clean, formal look and make the three bands easy to count.

Where are sergeant chevrons worn on the uniform?

Sergeant chevrons are usually sewn on both upper sleeves, points up, below the shoulder patch. Matching the chevron field to the shirt or jacket color, as this navy version does, helps the insignia sit flush on the garment.

Can the outline color be changed?

Yes. The white outlines can be switched to gold, silver, or light blue, and the stripe and field colors can be adjusted to any uniform. We can also produce matching corporal or FTO chevrons in the same style, with a free proof before production.

Is proof of employment needed to order this navy sergeant chevron?

Not for the design as shown, because it shows only rank stripes and no department name. Adding a real department name, such as the Chicago Police Department, limits the order to that department or its authorized buyers, who provide proof of occupation or an authorized purchasing letter.
