The yellow banded forage cap is still in use however. Superintendents have gold braid on the peak, ranks above that have varying amounts of embroidered maple leaf (see Commissioner Zaccardelli)

Regulations for officers' caps are:

Assistant Commissioner and Chief Superintendent - One row of gold maple leaf embroidery on the lower edge of the peak.

All other officers - plain gold embroidery, three quarters of an inch wide, on the lower edge of the peak. In the late 1970's, the "gold" was replaced by "perma-gold."
