Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the Houston Police senior police officer chevron?

It is a royal blue chevron patch with a royal blue merrow border and two silver-grey stripes. The patch is cut to the shape of the stripes, with a pointed top and a notched base, and carries no lettering.

What is a senior police officer in the Houston Police Department?

Senior police officer is an official Houston Police Department rank, placed above police officer and below sergeant. Officers reach it through years of service and an advanced state peace officer certification, and the rank has been part of the department structure since 2001.

Why does this chevron have two stripes instead of three?

In most American police rank systems, three stripes mark a sergeant. A two-stripe chevron sits one step below, recognizing experience while keeping the insignia distinct from supervisory rank.

Why silver-grey stripes on a royal blue field?

Silver-grey against royal blue gives strong contrast, so the stripe count reads clearly at a distance. The bright blue field also stands apart from darker navy and black chevrons.

Can this chevron be made with a rocker or in different colors?

Yes. We can add a rocker beneath the stripes, switch the stripes to white or gold, match the field to a navy or black uniform, or change the size, with a free proof before production.

Do I need credentials to order this Houston Police 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 Houston Police Department, is sold only to that department or its authorized buyers, with proof of occupation or an authorized purchasing letter.
