Description
This embroidered chevron patch carries the FTO designation for the Chicago Police Department, on a light blue twill field with a royal blue merrow border framing the classic rank-chevron cut.
Chevron Stripe: A single royal blue chevron stripe runs across the top, following the pointed peak of the cut, with a thin white line edging each side.
Center Lettering: FTO sits in the middle in royal blue block letters, set on the open light blue field between the chevron and the rocker.
Rocker: A curved royal blue rocker sweeps along the base, trimmed in the same thin white lines, closing the design below the lettering.
Shape & Base: The patch is cut to a pointed chevron outline and worked in light blue twill, with a royal blue merrow edge that ties the border to the stripe and rocker.
Embroidery Quality: Produced in full-coverage embroidery on polyester twill, it keeps the white trim lines crisp against the royal blue and holds the FTO lettering clean and legible. Order it as shown for the Chicago Police Department, or customize the colors, lettering, and stripe layout for the field training officers in your own department.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Patches bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers must provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. We do not sell agency-named patches for personal use.
Custom and fictional designs — for example, a made-up department like “Town of Western Hope Police” — are welcome, as are designs where you change the agency or department name to your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is shown on the Chicago Police FTO chevron patch?
It is a light blue chevron-shaped patch with a royal blue merrow border. A royal blue chevron stripe runs across the top and a curved royal blue rocker sits at the base, both edged in thin white lines. FTO appears between them in royal blue block letters.
What does FTO stand for on a police chevron?
FTO stands for Field Training Officer. An FTO is an experienced officer who coaches and evaluates new recruits during their field training after the academy. The chevron marks that role on the uniform so it can be recognized at a glance.
Why does this patch use a chevron and a rocker?
The single chevron on top and the curved rocker at the base follow the layout of traditional rank insignia. Framing the FTO lettering between them lets the designation read like rank at a glance instead of looking like a separate patch.
Why is the chevron light blue?
The light blue twill field is built to sit flush against a light blue uniform shirt. With the background blending into the shirt, the royal blue stripe, rocker, and lettering stand out as the insignia, and the thin white lines sharpen every edge.
Can you make a custom FTO chevron for our department?
Yes. We can match the field color to your uniform shirt, change the border and stripe colors, adjust the number of stripes or rockers, and swap the lettering for another designation. Every order starts with a free proof before production.
Do I need credentials to order this Chicago Police FTO chevron?
This chevron carries rank lettering only, with no department name on it. Any version that adds 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. Generic FTO chevrons can be ordered without that step.
