Police rank

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

Rank is not only used to designate leadership, but to establish pay-grade as well.^[9] As rank increases, pay-grade follows, but so does amount of responsibility.^[10]

BrazilEdit

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 Railway Police (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 a city level, there is the Municipal Guard (Guarda Municipal). In terms of staff, the Military Police and the Civil Police are the most important, although in terms of headlines and prestige, the Federal Police concentrates most of the media attention.^[22]^{[dead link]}

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

ChinaEdit

People's PoliceEdit

Chinese police officers under the Ministry of Public Security use rank insignia on both side of shoulders on the duty uniform. Senior officers ranking at commissioner and superintendent levels wear these on the white collar uniforms, and for inspector level and below, officers wear them on the sky blue collar uniforms.

Senior officers

Police commissioner (Chinese: 总警监; pinyin: zǒng jǐngjiān): Shoulder insignia: national coat of arms fully circled with a pair of olive branch.
Deputy police commissioner (Chinese: 副总警监; pinyin: fù zǒng jǐngjiān): Deputy minister of public security, shoulder insignia: national coat of arms partly circled with a pair of olive branch.
Superintendent 1st class (Chinese: 一级警监; pinyin: yījí jǐngjiān): Assistant commissioner of police shares this rank, Supt 1st class normally commands a functional bureau (e.g. CID, immigration, traffic, anti-smuggling) or a province formation, and direct reports to DCP. Shoulder insignia: three pips with olive leaves.
Superintendent 2nd class (Chinese: 二级警监; pinyin: èrjí jǐngjiān): Normally is second in charge of a functional bureau, or a province formation, or a city police headquarters commander. Shoulder insignia: two pips with olive leaves.
Superintendent 3rd class (Chinese: 三级警监; pinyin: sānjí jǐngjiān): Normally commands police division of a functional bureau, or the head of a police sub-bureau of a city. Shoulder insignia: one pip with olive leaves.

Inspector 1st class (Chinese: 一级警督; pinyin: yījí jǐngdū): Shoulder insignia: three pips with two silver bars
Inspector 2nd class (Chinese: 二级警督; pinyin: èrjí jǐngdū): Shoulder insignia: two pips with two silver bars
Inspector 3rd class (Chinese: 三级警督; pinyin: sānjí jǐngdū): Shoulder insignia: one pip with two silver bars

Administrative positions do not exactly tally with ranks among inspector level and junior officers, admin positions (from PC to station commander or even deputy chief of a sub-Bureau), are various and flexible, it depends on each individual's qualifications and multiple skills, performance efficiency and effectiveness, years of service, personality and communication ability, potential leadership. Loyal and qualified officers with no misconduct record, are eligible to get rank promotion every four years (only applicable from Sgt 1st class to Insp 1st class). For example, a normal PC holding a non-commissioned position during his or her entire police career, with the increasing years of service, the highest rank he or she may attain is either Insp 3rd class (for high school and below qualification holders), or Insp 1st class (for university graduated certificate holders). Alternatively, young officers who are holding university degree (regardless of disciplines and majors), usually after three years of service, once his or her overall performance and ability meet operation needs, recommended by his or her team leader or a higher commanding officer, may have chance to get promoted (as sub-unit commander, detective supervisor, etc.).

Officers at this mid-rank level play very important roles as the "cornerstone" of the national police force. As most of them have already served quite long years, with accumulated work experiences, no matter standing at commanding or non-commanding position, they are either undertaking major responsibilities in public security or nurturing young officers with self model behaviours and proper instructions.

Junior officers

Sergeant 1st class (Chinese: 一级警司; pinyin: yījí jǐngsī): Highest admin position at this rank can be station commander, or operations squad leader and sub-unit commander/section head at a police bureau or sub-bureau, normally in charge of a detective case or a common police raid operation. Shoulder insignia: three pips with one silver bar.
Sergeant 2nd class (Chinese: 二级警司; pinyin: èrjí jǐngsī): University degree holder's entry ranking level is Sgt 2 class. Other than basic duties, also attend and assist sub-unit commander/section head in handling all kinds of cases. Sometimes is second in charge or acting commander during a case or operation. Shoulder insignia: two pips with one silver bar.
Sergeant 3rd class (Chinese: 三级警司; pinyin: sānjí jǐngsī): Other than basic duties, also attend and assist sub-unit commander and section head in handling all kinds of cases. Shoulder insignia: one pip with one silver bar.
Constable 1st class (Chinese: 一级警员; pinyin: yījí jǐngyuán): Perform road patrol and vehicle command duties. Shoulder insignia: two pips.
Constable 2nd class (Chinese: 二级警员; pinyin: èrjí jǐngyuán): Perform road patrol and vehicle command duties. Shoulder insignia: one pip.

Loyal and qualified officers with no misconduct record, are eligible to attain rank promotion at every three-year of service (only applicable from PC 2nd class to Sgt 1st class). Rank does not have any connection with position, it can only shows how many years you have been work for police unit.

Probationary constable (Chinese: 见习警员; pinyin: jiànxí jǐngyuán): Might be attaching to any of police stations or sub-units to familiar with the real police operations. The probationary period normally is one year. Shoulder insignia: two chevrons.
Recruit (Chinese: 学警; pinyin: xuéjǐng): Cadets at the police training academy. Shoulder insignia: one chevron.

People's Armed PoliceEdit

The People's Armed Police, as part of the People's Liberation Army, uses the same ranks and uniform as the PLA itself, save for the China Coast Guard (which is under the PAP) which uses navy-style ranks and uniform plus the China Maritime Safety Administration.
