Description
This embroidered patch is the Los Angeles Police Department Sergeant II rank insignia, a sew-on uniform chevron that marks the senior Sergeant II grade. It is worked on a black twill field with a black merrowed border, carrying three downward-pointing silver chevrons above a single curved rocker.
Insignia: Three nested chevrons point downward toward the base, stitched in silver-grey with a fine white outline. Below the lowest chevron sits a single curved rocker – an arc that sweeps upward at each end – enclosing a panel of the black field. The three chevrons match the Sergeant I grade, and the added rocker is what raises the insignia to Sergeant II.
The Rocker: The rocker is the focal detail of this insignia and the single element that separates it from the plain three-chevron Sergeant I patch. It is embroidered in the same silver with a white keyline, curving beneath the chevrons so the eye reads chevrons-plus-arc as one stacked rank mark.
Color & Contrast: Silver thread on solid black twill, with thin white keylines around the chevrons and the rocker, keeps all four elements legible at uniform-sleeve distance.
Shape & Base: To carry the rocker, the patch is built on a broader shield-style outline – a point at the top widening through the body – on a black twill ground finished with a black merrowed border that blends into the field for a clean, uniform-ready edge.
Embroidery Quality: Full-coverage stitching with high stitch density gives the three chevrons and the rocker sharp, even edges and a durable surface that holds up to daily uniform wear and laundering.
This insignia is one of a set of Los Angeles Police Department rank patches. Compare it directly with the plain three-chevron LAPD Sergeant I rank insignia, see the two-chevron Police Officer III insignia, or view the full police rank insignia comparison.

🛡 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 the difference between the LAPD Sergeant II and Sergeant I insignia?
Both carry three downward-pointing chevrons, but the Sergeant II insignia adds a single curved rocker below the chevrons. The three chevrons mark the sergeant grade and the rocker raises it to Sergeant II, so the rocker is the only visual difference between the two patches.
What does the rocker on the Sergeant II patch mean?
The rocker is the curved arc stitched beneath the three chevrons. In the Los Angeles Police Department rank system it marks the senior Sergeant II step above Sergeant I. It is embroidered in silver to match the chevrons and is the defining element of this insignia.
Can you embroider the chevrons and rocker as a matched pair for both sleeves?
Yes. Like other rank insignia, the Sergeant II chevron-and-rocker is worn on both sleeves and is commonly ordered in pairs. There is no setup fee and low minimum-quantity pricing, so ordering matched sets for a sergeant or a group is straightforward - request a quote with your quantity.
Can you change the colors of the chevrons or the rocker?
Yes. The silver-on-black shown here is standard, but the chevrons, the rocker, and the twill field can each be recolored - for example gold elements, a navy ground, or subdued tones for a low-visibility uniform. A free proof is provided before production so you can confirm the look.
What size is the Sergeant II rank patch?
Rank insignia are made small enough to sit on a uniform sleeve, typically in the 2 to 4 inch range. Because this design stacks a rocker under three chevrons, we confirm the proportions at your chosen size on the free proof so the chevrons and rocker stay clearly separated.
Do I need credentials to order an LAPD Sergeant II rank insignia?
Yes. Insignia tied to a real department such as the Los Angeles Police Department are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Generic or fictional rank designs, and insignia for your own department, are welcome without that step.
