Officers, by rank

As-reported rank titles vary widely across agencies ("Ptl.", "Police Officer", "P.O." are all the same rank). This site maps them to one canonical bucket per rank so officers can be found and compared across agencies.

AnalysisCanonicalization is this site's grouping, not an official title. A handful of ambiguous raw strings are excluded rather than guessed; see methodology.
