What distinguishes a Corporal/Detective's insignia?

• A. One sleeve chevron.
• B. Two sleeve chevrons with a star centered at the bottom.
• C. Three sleeve chevrons with a star.
• D. Two sleeve chevrons without any star.

Answer: (B)

Insignia on sleeve patches communicates both rank and assignment. Two chevrons indicate the rank of Corporal, and a small star placed at the bottom center marks detective status. Put together, two sleeve chevrons with a star at the bottom uniquely identify a Corporal who is also a Detective. The other patterns either change the number of chevrons or remove the star, representing a different rank or a non-detective designation. This combination best conveys both rank and the detective assignment.
