Wears a suit & works out of a precinct detective squad or out of the Detective Bureau (Major Case, Special Victims, Joint Robbery Task Force, etc.) They have grade "ranks" within the detective/investigator rank.

In otherwords, enjoy Barney Miller, but if you think your confussed, just imagine how they TV writters must feel. The SGT will get to dictate to his team what personell, weapons, tools and tactics will be used. when and where ESU is needed, but once they are requested to perform a service for the Patrol LT. who requests an ESU response can certainly dictate to a ESU SGT. A Inspector from the Personell office couldn't show up on a scene and start ordering a Duty Captain or PCT CO around just because he outranked them. can't just order him away because that IAD SGT is acting under the authority of the IAD Chief through his chain of command. In otherwords a Captain being investigated by an IAD SGT. So what am I babbling about? I guess you are looking for a straight forward answer as to who can boss who around and what I am getting at is that Rank is only one small part and that just like in the military chain of command is probably more important than rank. SOD has its own chain that meet at Chief of Patrol and IAD has its own chain that meets at Cheif of Department. For example let's take the 13th PCT (since the 12th is ficticous) currently commanded by a Capt, would report to the Patrol Boro Manhattan South PBMS commander who reports to Chief of Patrol who reports to Chief of Department who reports to the Commisioner who reports to the Mayor.ĭetectives have their own chain of command that doesn't meet again until Chief of Department (Chief of Detectives reports to Cheif of Department) For this whole discussion I excluded deputies and Executive officers since they simply act in the name of their respective commander. The PCT CO's "Boss" would be the Patrol Boro commander. how much authority you really have.įor example, a PCT commander who happens to be a Captain would have more say in what goes on at his or her house then say a DI assigned to the communications division. It certainly can get confussing as "Rank" has more to do with how much you get paid vs.
