[edit] Metropolitan Police

Recommend that the historical information on District Superintendent be moved to its own page.

I don't think that's really necessary. It was exactly the same rank as Chief Constable, just a different name. Info will just end up being duplicated. -- Necrothesp 08:43, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More universal?

In which other countries are police forces headed by Chief Constables? There are a few in Canada (primarily in British Columbia), but even there Chief of Police is the commoner term. I don't know of any elsewhere. A section about Canada can be added, but this is still principally a British term and the article should reflect that fact. -- Necrothesp 11:22, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

-- The Victoria Police, (Australia) uses the rank of Chief Constable and is the only one in Australia to do so. Yeppoon 08:32, 05 October 2007 (UTC)
