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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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