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.

Famous quotes containing the words rank and/or structure:
“Archbishop—A Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior to that attained by Christ.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“... the structure of our public morality crashed to earth. Above its grave a tombstone read, “Be tolerant—even of evil.” Logically the next step would be to say to our commonwealth’s criminals, “I disagree that it’s all right to rob and murder, but naturally I respect your opinion.” Tolerance is only complacence when it makes no distinction between right and wrong.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
