LIEUTENANT

The first commissioned officer rank in the State Police. Lieutenants command units and sections, and the step from sergeant first class to lieutenant is where a member moves from supervising work to directing an organisation.

Officers are commissioned within the Division. Nothing about the rank is filled from a Commission list, so no specification exists to publish.
