List of police ranks

Police ranks are a system of hierarchical relationships in police organizations.^[1] The rank system defines authority and responsibility in a police organization,^[2] and affects the culture within the police force.^[3] Police ranks, dependent on country, are similar to military ranks^[4]^[5] in function and design due to policing in many countries developing from military organizations and operations,^[6] such as in Western Europe,^[7]^[8] former Soviet countries,^[9] and English-speaking countries.^[10]^[11] Usually, uniforms denote the bearer's rank by particular insignia affixed to the uniforms.^[12]^[5]

Rank is not only used to designate leadership, but to establish pay-grade as well.^[13] As rank increases, pay-grade follows, but so does the amount of responsibility.^[14]

Brazil

Brazil has several different police forces, each with its own ranks. At a federal level, there are the Federal Police (Portuguese: Polícia Federal, the equivalent to the FBI), the Federal Highway Police (Polícia Rodoviária Federal) and the Federal Railroad Police (Portuguese: Polícia Ferroviária Federal). At a state level, there are the military police (polícia militar, a gendarmerie type force unlike the military police of many other countries, the Brazilian equivalent of which is the army police) and the civil police (polícia civil). At city level, there is the Municipal Guards (Guarda Municipal).

Civil police

The Brazilian Civil Police rank follows, from higher to lower, as:

Comissário/Delegado (Commissioner/Delegate)
Escrivão (Clerk)
Agente/Investigador/Inspetor/Especialista (Agent/Investigator/Inspector/Specialist)
Perito criminal (Forensics expert)

Military police

The following details the ranks of the military police, which are also used by the National Public Security Force.

The ranks are valid for the state military police agencies (such as the Military Police of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro) and are listed, respectively, from higher to lower ranks:^[29]

United States

The United States law enforcement ranking model is generally quasi-military in structure. Each level of law enforcement (federal, state, and local) has its own rank structure and insignia, and these vary considerably from agency to agency. There is no nationally set law enforcement rank and insignia structure but they tend to follow similar patterns. Because of that, this is not an exhaustive list. Some departments, particularly small ones, have very few ranks, while large ones have ranks as extensive as United States military rank structures.

Federal

The U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contain multiple law enforcement agencies and are the largest federal departments responsible for law enforcement; however, other governmental departments and agencies have law enforcement bodies. Each federal law enforcement agency has a unique rank structure. Many federal law enforcement agencies rank structures resemble military rank structure but have different cogitations regarding responsibilities and duties. In general, all law enforcement groups in United States follow a similar pattern: director/chief, assistant/deputy director/chief, special agent in charge, assistant special agent in charge, supervisory special agent, special agent.

Example
United States Border Patrol

Rank	Chief of the Border Patrol	Deputy Chief of the Border Patrol	Chief patrol agent	Deputy chief patrol agent	Assistant chief patrol agent Patrol agent in charge	Deputy patrol agent in charge Watch commander	Special operations supervisor	Supervisory Border Patrol agent	Border Patrol agent (sector programs)	Border Patrol agent
Insignia										No insignia

State

State law enforcement agencies often have a pronounced paramilitary rank structure with rank titles such as: colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, captain, lieutenant, staff sergeant, sergeant, corporal, trooper.

Example
Alabama Highway Patrol and Alabama Department of Public Safety

Rank	Director (colonel)	Assistant director (lieutenant colonel)	Chief (major)	Captain	Lieutenant	Sergeant	Corporal	Senior trooper	Trooper
Insignia								No insignia

County

County sheriffs are usually elected, chiefs of county police departments are appointed. In a sheriff's department common ranks are undersheriff, assistant sheriff (large departments), senior deputy sheriff, and deputy sheriff, while in a county police department paramilitary titles may be used, which also are to be found in large sheriff's departments.

Example of a sheriff's department
Santa Clara County, California

Rank	Sheriff	Undersheriff	Assistant sheriff	Captain	Lieutenant	Sergeant	Deputy sheriff
Insignia							No insignia

Example of a county police department
Anne Arundel County, Maryland

Rank	Chief of police	Assistant Chief	Major	Captain	Lieutenant	Sergeant	Corporal	Police officer first class	Police officer
Insignia									No insignia

Municipal/city

Municipal or city police departments can use paramilitary ranks or more distinct police ranks, or a combination of both. Commissioners or chiefs are normally heading the departments, aided by commanders and inspectors or colonels or majors. Captain, lieutenant and sergeant are standard ranks. Below them are corporals, detectives, police officers.

Example of a city police department
Aurora Police Department, Colorado

Rank	Chief of police	Deputy chief	Division chief	Commander	Captain	Lieutenant	Sergeant	Police agent	Police officer
