List of police ranks in the Americas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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]

At a federal level, there are the Federal Police (Portuguese: Polícia Federal, the equivalent to the FBI), the Federal Highway Police (Polícia Rodoviária Federal), the Federal Railroad Police (Portuguese: Polícia Ferroviária Federal) and the Federal Penal Police (Portuguese: Polícia Penal Federal). At a state level, there are the Military Police (Polícia Militar, ostensive/preventive, a gendarmerie type force unlike the military police of many other countries, the Brazilian equivalent of which is the army police), the Civil Police (Polícia Civil, investigative) and the State Penal Police (Portuguese: Polícia Penal Estadual). At city level, there is the Municipal Guards (Guarda Civil Municipal/Guarda Civil Metropolitana).
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)

Mexico
According to the General Law for the National System for Public Security, the federal, state and municipal police forces are mandated to have the same hierarchical organization. In addition, the national guard uses its own rank system.

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.
Examples of federal police ranks in the United States include:
| Rank | Director | Deputy Director | Chief of Staff and Special Counsel to the Director | Deputy Chief of Staff | Associate Deputy Director | Executive Assistant Director | Associate Executive Assistant Director | Assistant Director | Deputy Assistant Director | Special Agent-in-Charge | Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge | Supervisory Special Agent | Senior Special Agent | Special Agent | Agent In Training |

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.

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.
