  1. Probably nothing would be my guess. Different agencies use different terms for the same position for whatever reasons they like.

    When I first went to work at a large PD in OH, we had Captains but when a new Chief came in, he decided to change it to Commander.

    Same pay, same jobs, just a different title (and alot of money out of taxpayers pockets to pay for all the things that had to be printed/made to accommodate those changes ~ it’s called ego trip IMHO).

  2. there is actually a rankig system. same as the mllitary, but switch private with officer and go from there. agents are higher in rank. not by much but they are slightly better paid.
