The Sergeant's Shield

An NYPD Sergeant's Shield

This is a gold NYPD Sergeant's shield. It has the same basic shape as the officer's shield with an eagle perched on top. The badge has a scaled down version of the city seal to accommodate the rectangular opening for the sergeant's shield number. The rank of "SERGEANT" is in a banner curved along the bottom of the badge. The words "CITY OF NEW YORK POLICE" are contained in a scroll and a banner at the top of the badge above the city seal.
