Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the Houston Police sergeant chevron?

It is a tall royal blue shield-shaped patch with a royal blue merrow border. Three silver-grey chevrons sit at the top, the lowest framing a center panel with an open silver-grey diamond, and two silver-grey rockers run across the base.

Where does sergeant rank in the Houston Police Department?

Sergeant is the first supervisory rank in the Houston Police Department, above senior police officer and below lieutenant. Sergeants typically supervise squads of officers in the field.

What does the diamond add to this chevron?

The diamond is a traditional device in American rank insignia, placed between chevrons and rockers to mark a senior sergeant grade. Here it gives the Houston chevron a distinctive center panel that sets it apart from plain three-stripe designs.

How does this compare to the Houston senior police officer chevron?

Both use silver-grey on royal blue. The senior police officer chevron carries two plain stripes in a stripe-cut shape, while this sergeant chevron uses a tall shield with three chevrons, rockers, and a diamond, marking the step up to supervisory rank.

Can the diamond or colors be changed?

Yes. We can fill the diamond solid, replace it with a star or another device, change the number of rockers, or switch the silver-grey to white or gold, with a free proof before production.

Is proof of employment needed for this Houston sergeant chevron?

Not for the design as shown, which carries rank stripes and a device but no department name. Any version that adds a real department name, such as the Houston Police Department, is sold only to that department or its authorized buyers, with proof of occupation or an authorized purchasing letter.
