Ranks Structure and Insignias
Rank insignia for Lieutenants through Chief of Department are metal pins worn on the collar of the shirt and on the shoulder of the jacket. Ranks insignia for Police Officers/Detectives and Sergeants are embroidered chevron worn on the upper sleeves.

Tenured officers will have silver-grey hash-marks on the lower left side of their long-sleeved shirts. Each mark represents five years of service.

Promotion from Police Officer to Detective is based on merit. Generally a Police Officer who is assigned to an investigative assignment for 18 months will be designated "Detective-Investigator". Sergeants and lieutenants can be assigned to detective squads as supervisors, but the rank of detective carries no supervisory responsibilities.

Promotion to Sergeant, Lieutenant and Captain is based on a civil service promotion exam, in which an officer answers 100 multiple choice questions based on Department procedures and the law.

Promotion to Deputy Inspector and above is based on merit and those promotions are made by the Mayor.

Promotion from Police Officer to Sergeant, Sergeant to Lieutenant, and Lieutenant to Captain all occur via a civil service formula that factors: performance on the civil service written examination for that rank, length of service, citations awarded, optional physical fitness test (for extra points). Promotion beyond the rank of Captain is discretionary.
