Description
This embroidered chevron carries the insignia of a chief technical sergeant in the New York State Police, a senior rank that combines three chevrons, three rockers, and a lightning bolt device in black on the grey of the trooper uniform.
Chevrons: Three black chevron stripes follow the pointed peak at the top of the patch, stacked at matching angles with grey channels between them.
Lightning Bolt Panel: The lowest chevron curves into a rocker that frames a grey center panel, where a black lightning bolt runs diagonally across the field.
Rockers: Two more black rockers arc across the base beneath the panel, giving the insignia its full three-over-three layout.
Shape & Base: The patch is cut as a tall shield with a pointed top, straight sides, and a squared base, worked in grey twill with a grey merrow edge.
Embroidery Quality: Full-coverage embroidery on polyester twill keeps the black chevrons, rockers, and lightning bolt sharp against the grey and holds the narrow channels even throughout. Order it as shown for the New York State Police, or adapt the device, stripe count, and colors for a technical rank in your own agency.

🛡 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 New York State Police chief technical sergeant chevron?
It is a tall grey shield-shaped patch with a grey merrow border. Three black chevrons sit at the top, the lowest curving into a rocker that frames a black lightning bolt, and two more black rockers run across the base.
Is chief technical sergeant a rank in the New York State Police?
Yes. Chief technical sergeant is one of the technical ranks in the New York State Police, placed above staff sergeant and below technical lieutenant in the rank structure.
How is this different from the standard NYSP sergeant chevron?
The standard sergeant chevron uses three plain black stripes on grey. This chief technical sergeant version adds three rockers beneath the chevrons and a lightning bolt device in the center panel, marking a higher, technical rank.
What does the lightning bolt add to the design?
The lightning bolt is the central device of the insignia, set inside the panel formed by the lowest chevron and first rocker. It gives the chevron a distinct look that separates this rank from other sergeant grades at a glance.
Can you make a matching chevron for another technical rank?
Yes. We can change the number of chevrons and rockers, swap the lightning bolt for another device, and adjust the grey and black colors, so each technical grade gets its own matching insignia, with a free proof before production.
Are credentials required to buy this chief technical sergeant chevron?
Not for the design as shown, which carries rank stripes and a device but no agency name. Any version that adds a real agency name, such as the New York State Police, is sold only to that agency or its authorized buyers, with proof of occupation or an authorized purchasing letter.
