ACT Policing - Rank/Structure

Rank/Structure

As distinct from the majority of AFP Members engaged in duties outside of ACT Policing, who under AFP Commissioner's Order 1 (Administration), are titled Federal Agents, police Members of ACT Policing (and some other AFP portfolios) adopt traditional ranks:

  • Constable
  • Senior Constable
  • Sergeant
  • Superintendent
  • Commander (Deputy Chief Police Officer of the Australian Capital Territory)
  • Assistant Commissioner (Chief Police Officer of the Australian Capital Territory)

Those who have sufficient experience and have demonstrated the appropriate competencies are designated as a Detective whilst performing investigative duties in ACT Policing. Members with a Detective designation who assume other roles do not use the title when not attached to investigative or TIG functions.
