Our chief is retiring after 33 years and has asked me to replace him and he even nominated me for the position.

We usually have to turn our badges in when a member leaves the department unless you bought it yourself but we decided to let him keep his badge.

My question is our department has all silver badges but I was wondering if there is a set standard on what the color of the chiefs badge should be?

I have to order two new badges for my uniform and wanted to check before I placed the order.

GOLD GOLD thats all i ever seen on a chief
We don't have class-consciousness here. Everyone wears the same colour jacket, the same colour shirt, the same badge (mind you, we only have 'badges' on hats, not shirts). The only thing that is at all different is that volunteers have a 'rocker' under their shoulder patch, career people don't.
At our department all the officers have gold badges, name plates and collar pins. We also wear white shirts and the rest of the department wears blue shirts with silver name plates, badges and collar pins.
We use the following colors:
Chief- solid gold
Lt, Capt, Asst. chief, Dep. chief- two tone gold & silver ( badge is silver and rocker pannels are gold)
FF's- all silver
Officers: Gold badges, nameplates, and bugles.
Firefighters: Silver badges, nameplates, and FD collar brass.
Definatley gold for the chief. In my department the chief and and asistant chief's wear gold with white shirts and hats, and the captains, lt's, and firefighters wear silver with blue shirts.
GO FOR THE GOLD. THAT WHAT I SEE IN MY AREA IS GOLD FOR THE OFFICERS. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
