Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the Philadelphia Police sergeant chevron?

It is a black chevron patch with a black merrow border and three royal blue stripes, each outlined in white. The patch is cut to the shape of the stripes, with a pointed top and a notched base, and carries no lettering.

Where does sergeant rank in the Philadelphia Police Department?

Sergeant sits above corporal and below lieutenant in the Philadelphia Police Department rank structure, making it the next step up from the corporal rank.

How is this different from the Philadelphia corporal chevron?

Both use royal blue stripes with white outlines on a black field. The corporal chevron carries two stripes, while this sergeant chevron carries three, so the stripe count is what separates the two ranks.

How does it compare to the NYPD sergeant chevron?

Both are three-stripe chevrons on black. The Philadelphia version uses royal blue stripes with white outlines, while the NYPD version uses silver-grey stripes with royal blue outlines.

Can this chevron be made for a different uniform color?

Yes. We can match the field to a navy, grey, or light blue shirt, change the stripe and outline colors, add a rocker, or size it for outerwear, with a free proof before production.

Are credentials required for this Philadelphia sergeant 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 Philadelphia Police Department, is sold only to that department or its authorized buyers, with proof of occupation or an authorized purchasing letter.
