Description
This embroidered chevron marks the rank of first sergeant in the New York State Police, pairing the three-chevron, three-rocker layout with an open diamond device, all in black on a grey field that matches the trooper uniform.
Chevrons: Three black chevrons run beneath the pointed peak, evenly spaced by grey channels, with the lowest one sweeping down into the curved frame of the center panel.
Diamond Device: At the heart of the patch sits an open black diamond, a hollow outline centered in the grey panel and standing on one point.
Rockers: Two black rockers curve across the base below the panel, completing the stack and balancing the chevrons above.
Shape & Base: The tall shield outline has a pointed top, straight sides, and a squared base with rounded corners, worked in grey twill with a grey merrow edge.
Embroidery Quality: Full-coverage embroidery on polyester twill keeps the diamond outline sharp at each corner and the black bands even across the grey field. Order it as shown for the New York State Police, or change the device and colors to mark a senior rank in your own agency.
Compare it with the New York State Police chief technical sergeant chevron patch, which carries a lightning bolt in the same layout, or the standard sergeant chevron.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is shown on the New York State Police first sergeant chevron?
It is a tall grey shield-shaped patch with a grey merrow border. Three black chevrons sit at the top, the lowest framing a center panel with an open black diamond, and two black rockers run across the base.
Where does first sergeant rank in the New York State Police?
First sergeant sits above senior investigator and below staff sergeant in the New York State Police rank structure, among the senior sergeant grades of the agency.
What does the diamond mean on a first sergeant chevron?
In American rank insignia, a diamond between the chevrons and rockers is the traditional mark of a first sergeant, the senior enlisted leader of a unit. The same diamond identifies the first sergeant grade on this chevron.
How does this differ from the chief technical sergeant chevron?
Both share the same three-chevron, three-rocker layout on grey. The first sergeant version carries an open diamond in the center panel, while the chief technical sergeant version carries a lightning bolt, so the device is what tells the two grades apart.
Can the diamond be filled in or changed?
Yes. We can stitch the diamond solid instead of open, swap it for a star or another device, adjust the number of rockers, or change the colors, with a free proof before production.
Can I buy this first sergeant chevron without credentials?
Yes, as shown, because the chevron 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.
