SWAT & Service FAQ

How do service bars work?

Each bar marks a set number of years. Your department sets the rule. The service patches here, for example, use one bar for 5 years, two for 10 and three for 15.

What is continuous felt?

Continuous felt service bars come as a strip that you cut to the number of bars you need, then sew on.

Do the SWAT patches fit a vest panel?

The hook-and-loop chest and back patches fit a loop panel on a vest or plate carrier. Check the patch size against your panel.
