can a srgt suddenly become a detective? i am asking it, beacuse i dont know what are levels in USA Police. to be honest, if they translated right the in my country police degrees, he can not. Sure they can...if they want to, and if their Captain approves. Each city makes their own rules. So it is different from city to city. In Wu's case, he might need to take an exam to qualify for 'Detective rank'...I don't know, like I said the rules can be different in each city. Here in the US, each State has their own State Police...and each State makes their own rules about how they run the departments, train their personnel and promote them. The State Police patrol the highways and rural areas; the Governor of their State is their boss. The people of a State elect their Governor every 4 years. Each State is divided into Counties...and they have County Sheriffs Department. The Counties make their own rules for their Sheriffs Dept. The people of each County elect their Sheriff. The Sheriff has deputies who are like policemen for the County...they take care of things that are outside of the cities, but work with City police. Sorry for the long reply...but you asked about "USA Police" and we have different kinds here. The State Police are sometimes called in to investigate City and County police, if there has been some wrongdoing.
