peer agreement (net): +1| detective constable αστυφύλακας του ανακριτικού Explanation: Officers holding ranks up to and including Chief Superintendent who are members of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) or Special Branch (and certain other units) have the prefix "Detective" before their rank. Due to the nature of their duties, these officers generally wear plain clothes (except for ceremonial purposes) and so do not wear the corresponding rank insignia; however, they still operate within the same structure as their uniformed counterparts. It is a misconception often portrayed by the media that detective ranks are superior to those of uniformed officers[citation needed]. In the United Kingdom, this is not the case, and a detective sergeant has the same powers and authority as a uniformed sergeant. The "Detective" prefix designates that the officer has a proven investigative ability and has received suitable training and passed related examinations, to conduct all manner of criminal investigations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_ranks_of_the_United_Kin... http://www.astynomia.gr/index.php?option=ozo_content&perform... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellenic_Police |
