I under what you’re getting at, but how else would you propose defining delineations of authority within an organization like that? Corporate titles can be capricious and I’d almost fear a corporate based security force more!

In this sheriff's office, like several other law enforcement agencies, ranks jump from junior officers (lieutenant, captain) straight to flag rank (1 star for chief deputy, 2 stars for assistant sheriff, 3 stars for under sheriff, 4 stars for sheriff). Just seems like someone really wanted to dress up in a general's uniform.
