Ranks

The Los Santos Police Service uses the standard British Police ranks, indicated by shoulder boards (epaulettes), up to Chief Constable.

Following controversy over various Police Complaints where officers refused to identify themselves by name, and a statement by CC Tadworth in early 2016 that "the public has a right to be able to identify any uniformed officer whilst performing their duty", collar numbers were introduced. They are allocated individually to each officer, who must tell you their collar number except in a small amount of specific circumstances. Every officer (except those that are masked or plain clothed) is required to display their collar number at all times.

Junior Ranks and Trainees:

• Probationary Police Constable (Prob. PC): "PC" written on the epaulette with "Police Constable", name and collar number also displayed.
• Police Constable (PC): "PC" Written on the epaulette with "Police Constable", name and collar number also displayed. Note that any officer above Police Constable has passed all their initial training as provided by the Police Academy and therefore at this point officers become entirely responsible for their own decision making in relation to the National Decision Model (NDM)

Bronze Command:

• Sergeant (SGT): Three pointing-down chevrons above the divisional call sign and shoulder number, officers above this rank may have additional powers to authorise specific actions.
• Inspector (INS): Two Order of the Bath stars, informally known as "pips".
• Chief Inspector (CI): Three pips.

Silver Command:

• Superintendent (SI): Single crown, this is the first Silver Command rank.
• Chief Superintendent (CSI): Single crown over one pip.

Gold Command:

• Assistant Chief Constable (ACC): Crossed tipstaves in a bayleaf wreath, this is the first Police Command rank.
• Deputy Chief Constable (DCC): One pip over Assistant Chief Constable's badge.
• Chief Constable (CC): Crown over Commander's badge.
