Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the Philadelphia Police corporal chevron?

It is a black chevron patch with a black merrow border and two royal blue stripes, each outlined in white. The patch is cut to the shape of the stripes, with a pointed top and a notched base, and carries no lettering.

What does a corporal do in the Philadelphia Police Department?

In the Philadelphia Police Department, corporals work as operations room supervisors, overseeing a district or special unit operations room and making sure reports are submitted accurately and on time. The rank sits above police officer and below sergeant.

Why are the stripes royal blue with white outlines?

Royal blue stripes with white outlines give strong contrast against a black field. The white lines separate each band cleanly, so the two-stripe rank reads at a glance on a dark uniform.

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

Both carry two stripes in a stripe-cut shape. The Philadelphia corporal chevron uses royal blue stripes with white outlines on black, while the Houston senior police officer chevron uses silver-grey stripes on a royal blue field.

Can this corporal chevron be customized?

Yes. We can change the stripe and outline colors, match the field to a navy or grey uniform, add a rocker, or size it for outerwear, with a free proof before production.

Do I need credentials to buy this Philadelphia corporal chevron?

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