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 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.^[8]

The Civil Police are responsible for investigating crimes while the Military Police are responsible for preventing them.

The Civil Police are organized accordingly to functions. Scrivener (escrivão) is the lower rank position responsible for the internal work inside the police premises (e.g., collecting witness statements). Detective (detetive) or investigator (investigador) is the position responsible for actions outside the premises (e.g., investigating the circumstances of a crime). Delegate (delegado, similar to captain in the US) is the senior official (required to have a law degree) responsible for the lower ranks and for coordinating the whole work (investigations) of the Civil Police. The Civil Police also have the assistance of experts (peritos), which are the technical body. The Federal Police follows a very similar structure to the Civil Police, the Federal Highway and Railway police.

The ranks listed below are valid for the state military police agencies (such as PMMG, PMESP, PMERJ and others) and are listed, respectively, from higher to lower ranks:

Comandante geral (colonel) (colonel commandant of military police)
Coronel (colonel)
Tenente-coronel (lieutenant-colonel)
Major (major)
Capitão (captain)
1º tenente (1st lieutenant)
2º tenente (2nd lieutenant)
Aspirante-a-oficial (cadet, student rank)
Subtenente (under-lieutenant)
1º sargento (1st sergeant)
2º sargento (2nd sergeant)
3º sargento (3rd sergeant)
Cabo (corporal)
Soldado de 1ª classe (private 1st class)
Soldado de 2ª classe (private 2nd class, student rank)

The 2nd class private and the cadet are considered to be students in the formation courses and have no street policing duties (except in a very few cases, as probationary tours). Despite closely resembling the rank structure within the Brazilian army, there is no rank of general in the military police forces, as the Military Police is slotted under the army control in case of war, with its colonels reporting to general officers in the service branch.

Military police also consists of SWAT units, like, BOPE, Rio de Janeiro's Batalhão de Operações Policiais Especiais (Battalion of Special Police Operations), and COE, Comandos e Operações Especiais (Commands and Special Operations) from São Paulo. Also there is an anti-riot unit called Batalhão de Choque (Chock Battalion) and São Paulo's specialized police, ROTA, Rondas Ostensivas Tobias de Aguiar (Tobias de Aguiar Ostensive Rounds), and a motorcycles battalion, A Ronda Ostensiva Com Apoio de Motocicletas (Ostensitive Ronda Supported by Motorcycles). Police in São Paulo also use Helicopteros Aguia (Eagle helicopters). As a general rule every state's Military Police is called Policia Militar, except Rio Grande do Sul's police, which are called as the Brigada Militar (Military Brigade). The Military Police have a drug abuse resistance education program, PROERD, or Programa Educacional de Resistência às Drogas e à Violência (Educational Program on Drug Resistance and Violence) that teaches youth about not using drugs and alcohol. Also, some police cars are designed to patrol schools, and those cars are painted to say "Patrulha Escolar" (School Patrol). There are also the Policia Ambiental (Environmental Police), or Policia Florestal (Forest Police), the canine units, and water police formations like maritime, fluvial and coastal police units under either the military police or the civil police.

China

People's Police

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 Police

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.

Germany

The following ranks are in use by state police forces. Detective ranks follow the same scheme, replacing the word Polizei with Kriminal, for example a plainclothed detective lieutenant is called Kriminalkommissar. The Federal Police of Germany basically follow the scheme, but deviates in the flag ranks.

Senior Command Ranks

These are comparable to military flag (general) officers, and are appointed by the state minister of interior (senators of interior in city-states). For federal agencies the federal minister of interior is responsible. They are usually specialists in public administration and have a master-level law degree. Since they are outside of the career system, they receive payment according to the B-scale of public officer payment grades.

Insignia

President of the federal police (Präsident des Bundespolizeipräsidiums), the highest police rank, only used by the federal police, responsible to the federal ministry of interior
President of police (Polizeipräsident), commands an independent regional authority of state police (Polizeipräsidium, Landespolizeidirektion, or similar), directly subordinated to the corresponding state ministry of interior.
Vice president of police (Polizeivizepräsident or Vizepräsident), also used in some states, serves as assistant to the state police commander
Inspector of/director of (stand-by) police (Inspekteur/Direktor der Bereitschaftspolizei), this rank is named differently in some states. The officer commands the stand-by police forces of the state.

Command Ranks

Comparable to military staff officers, major and above. The ranks are available for applicants who completed master level university studies, usually in law. It is possible for officers from the elevated echelon to obtain a master's degree from the Deutsche Hochschule der Polizei, so they can enter higher ranks.

Insignia

Police commander (Leitender Polizeidirektor, comparable to a military colonel, STANAG 2116 OF-5) acts as lieutenant to the president of police or heading a branch service of state police. As a career position it corresponds to grade A16. Four gold stars on shoulder patch.
Police senior chief superintendent (Polizeidirektor, comparable to a military lieutenant colonel, senior level, STANAG 2116 OF-4a), commands a subdivision of a regional authority of state police, either territorial (encompassing roughly one or two Districts of Germany districts) or by branches (traffic, crime), grade A15, three gold stars.
Police chief superintendent (Polizeioberrat, comparable to a military lieutenant colonel, junior level, STANAG 2116 OF-4b), grade A14, two gold stars
Police superintendent (Polizeirat, comparable to a military major, STANAG 2116 OF-3), commands a local police division (Polizeiinspektion) or special branch, grade A13, one gold star

Senior Ranks

Comparable to military officers, lieutenant and above. The ranks are obtained after receiving a bachelor level degree of a state college of public administration. In several states of Germany this is the lowest echelon for service entry, the medium service echelon is being abolished.

Insignia

Police senior chief inspector (Erster Polizeihauptkommissar, comparable to an army senior captain, OF-2a), may serve in lieu of a police councillor, grade A13, four silver stars (in some states five).
Police chief inspector I and II (Polizeihauptkommissar, comparable to an army captain, OF-2b), grades A11 and A12, three silver stars, in some states four stars when in grade A12
Police inspector (Polizeioberkommissar, comparable to an army first lieutenant, OF-1a), grade A10, two silver stars
Police Junior inspector (Polizeikommissar, comparable to an army second lieutenant, OF-1b), grade A9, one silver star

Junior Ranks (Mittlerer Dienst)

Comparable to military non-commissioned officers Those ranks are usually obtained during or after two years service in training companies (Ausbildungshundertschaften) of the Bereitschaftspolizei. The ranks are indicated by light blue (with blue uniform) or light green (with green-brown uniform) stars.

Insignia

Police sergeant I (Polizeihauptmeister mit Amtszulage, comparable to an army sergeant major, STANAG 2116 OR-9), may serve in lieu of a police inspector, grade A9 with upgrade, four or five stars
Police sergeant II (Polizeihauptmeister, comparable to an army master sergeant, STANAG 2116 OR-8), grade A9, four stars
Senior constable (Polizeiobermeister, comparable to an army staff sergeant, STANAG 2116 OR-7), grade A8, three stars
Police constable (Polizeimeister, comparable to an army sergeant, STANAG 2116 OR-6), grade A7, 2 stars.
Police officer I (Hauptwachtmeister, STANAG 2116 OR-5), grade A6, one star (only in a few states, usually during service in the Bereitschaftspolizei)
Police officer II (Oberwachtmeister, STANAG 2116 OR-4) (only in a few states, usually during service in the Bereitschaftspolizei), grade A5

Lower ranks have been in use in the past, but with the abolishment of the basic echelon, they have been out of use since the 1980s. The most well-known of these is Wachtmeister (constable) which still is considered the standard address for a policeman of unknown rank, even though it may now be considered condescending, given the policeman has a higher rank than Wachtmeister.

Pre-commission

Insignia

Officers on probation (Anwärter), usually the word is appended to the rank, to which the person is going to be commissioned, e.g. Polizeikommissaranwärter. Pay is a reduced amount of the corresponding rank.

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 different ranks and vary considerably from agency to agency. There is no nationally set law enforcement rank structure, but they tend to follow similar patterns.

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 shown below:

Director or Chief
Assistant/ Deputy Director/ Chief
Special Agent in Charge
Assistant Special Agent in Charge

Special Agent
