More Information
I read this entire article, and I still don't understand what a superintendent does, which is annoying since that's why I came here. Is a superintendent administrative or on the front line? If so, in what way is that different from an Inspector? Is it different? I don't know. If at all possible, please find someone who can provide more information. 2001:44B8:218A:D00:AC99:79E7:9F3:25F8 (talk) 19:43, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Confusion about history
I think the following paragraphs in the history section are contradictory, or at least confusing: How can chief inspector be a new rank in 1953 when people already had been regraded to chief inspector in 1949? Bever (talk) 00:11, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * In 1949, Metropolitan Police superintendents were regraded to the new rank of chief superintendent, chief inspectors were regraded to superintendent, and sub-divisional inspectors and divisional detective inspectors were regraded to chief inspector (with those ranks being abolished).
 * In September 1953, there was another change, when the rank was split into superintendent grade I (current superintendents, chief inspectors commanding sub-divisions and detective chief inspectors commanding divisional CIDs) and superintendent grade II (other current chief inspectors), with a new rank of chief inspector being created for senior inspectors.
 * It's not contradictory, but I can see how it might be confusing. The rank of chief inspector was first introduced in 1868 and was redefined in 1949 and 1953. I've amended the text slightly. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:09, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
