Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the New York State Police sergeant chevron?

It is a grey chevron patch with a grey merrow border and three solid black stripes stacked from the pointed top. The patch is cut to the shape of the stripes, with a notched base, and carries no lettering.

Why is this sergeant chevron grey and black?

New York State Police trooper uniforms are grey, so a grey field lets the chevron blend into the sleeve while the black stripes carry the rank. The two-color scheme keeps the insignia formal and easy to read.

Is sergeant a rank in the New York State Police?

Yes. Sergeant is a supervisory rank in the New York State Police, above trooper, and it is one of several sergeant grades in the agency, alongside titles such as technical sergeant.

How does this compare to the NYPD sergeant chevron?

Both use three stripes in the same stripe-cut shape. The New York State Police version pairs black stripes with a grey field for the grey trooper uniform, while the NYPD version uses silver-grey stripes with royal blue outlines on black.

Can this chevron be made in other sizes or for other sergeant grades?

Yes. We can size it for shirts, jackets, or outerwear, add rockers or a device for other sergeant grades, or change the thread colors, with a free proof before production.

Do I need credentials to order this New York State Police chevron?

Not for the design as shown, since it carries only rank stripes and no agency name. Any version that adds a real agency name, such as the New York State Police, is sold only to that agency or its authorized buyers, with proof of occupation or an authorized purchasing letter.
