Our department, Phoenix Fire, has authorized the donning of a class "A" uniform for civilian (non-sworn). The uniform is identical to the sworn class "A". Although, this was authorized several years ago a question was brought up recently as to insignias for dispatch personnel and what is appropriate.
In particular the supervisor group was looking to add an insignia (lapel pin) to their dress uniform. Our supervisors are the civilian equivalent to their sworn captain counterpart.
I have had little success searching the internet to find an example. I have been told that in some departments the dispatch supervisor wears the typical parallel silver bugle, however, my source could not recall the specific department names thus I'm not able to verify this.
Does anyone know of any example(s) that dispatch personnel would/could use on a dress uniform?
Your input would be greatly appreciated.
