Police senior sergeant


Explanation:
Greetings.

Depending on the table of equivalent police ranks and customary conversions displayed in various Arabic-language media about police matters, that term -- as rendered in "US police English" -- equates to "Police senior sergeant."

If you are translating that term for a US-based English readership, include the descriptor "Police" with that rank of "senior sergeant" do distinguish that complete "departmental rank" from similar titles used in military services or public safety organizations, such as fire departments, etc.

Best I recall, such a "full title" rank-naming system is also used in UK, i.e., "Police Constable, Police Sergeant," etc.

Hope this helps. Khair, in shaa' Allah.
