Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the light blue Chicago Police sergeant chevron?

It is a light blue chevron patch with a blue merrow border and three royal blue stripes, each outlined in white. The patch is cut to the stripe outline, with a pointed top and a notched base, and has no lettering.

Which Chicago Police sergeant chevron should I choose: light blue, navy, or grey and black?

Pick the field that matches the garment. The light blue version suits light blue shirts, the navy version suits navy shirts and jackets, and the grey and black version gives a subdued look on black outerwear. All three share the same three-stripe cut.

Does this chevron match the light blue FTO chevron?

Yes. Both use a light blue field with royal blue bands and thin white trim, so a sergeant and a field training officer wear insignia from the same color family. The FTO version uses one chevron, a rocker, and lettering instead of three stripes.

Why are the stripes royal blue instead of white?

Royal blue stripes read as solid rank bands on a pale field, while white stripes would blend with the white outlines. The darker blue gives the strongest contrast against light blue and keeps the stripe count clear from a distance.

Can you add a rocker or lettering to this sergeant chevron?

Yes. We can add a rocker beneath the stripes for departments that mark senior sergeant grades that way, stitch a designation between the stripes, or change the colors and size, with a free proof before production.

Do I need to show credentials to buy this light blue sergeant chevron?

No, not as shown, because the chevron has rank stripes only and no department name. A version that includes a real department name, such as the Chicago Police Department, is sold only to that department or its authorized buyers with proof of occupation or an authorized purchasing letter.
