Editing Inspector (section)

== Canada ==
In most [[Policing in Canada|Canadian police services]] the rank of inspector is the first officer/commissioned officer rank, above that of [[staff sergeant]]. It is usually immediately below the rank of [[superintendent (police)|superintendent]]. Depending on the police force, an inspector may be considered senior management. The rank insignia of an inspector in Canada is usually a crown on the epaulettes, the insignia of a major in the army. In some police services such as the [[Royal Newfoundland Constabulary]] or the [[Vancouver Police Department]], the rank insignia are three pips, similar to the insignia of an army captain, while in others including the [[Toronto Police Service]] and [[Peel Regional Police]], the insignia consists of two maple leaves, similar to an army lieutenant's insignia.

Provincial police services and the majority of municipal police services, such as the [[Toronto Police Service]] have a staff inspector rank, which ranks above inspector and below superintendent.<ref>{{cite web|author=Toronto Police Service |url=http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/rank/ |title=Toronto Police Service :: To Serve and Protect |publisher=Torontopolice.on.ca |access-date=3 May 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://vancouver.ca/police/recruiting/police-officers/policing.html#Advancement |title=The Job &#124; Vancouver Police Department |publisher=Vancouver.ca |access-date=3 May 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.edmontonpolice.ca//~/media/EPS%20External/Files/Reports/2008AnnualReport.ashx |title=Archived copy |access-date=5 June 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100611015615/http://www.edmontonpolice.ca/~/media/EPS%20External/Files/Reports/2008AnnualReport.ashx |archive-date=11 June 2010 }}</ref>
