Whos The Highest In A Police Station

The Chief of Police is typically the highest-ranking official in a police station and serves as the department head, holding ultimate authority over all police operations and administration^[1][5][7]. In some larger metropolitan departments, there may be an additional role above the chief, such as a police commissioner or superintendent, but the chief of police is usually the top position within a police station’s chain of command^[1][3].
