The table of ranks, introduced by Peter I in 1722, provided for the replacement of the aristocratic hierarchy, based on the transfer of ranks and power by inheritance, to a bureaucratic one. Thus, the "Law on the Civil Service Order in the Russian Empire" was approved, which described the posts and ranks, determining them by seniority and sequence of official production.
The report card took into account all ranks, military, state and court, and their correspondence with each other. Military ranks were higher than others. So it was established 14 ranks (class ranks), in three types - army, state and court. The first class was considered the highest.
Police Ranking Tables
In the Russian Empire, police ranks were equated with civilian ranks. Therefore, the rank was retained by the owner in the event of a change in his place of service. But, unlike most civil servants, instead of insignia on their buttonholes, police officers wore epaulets. Police epaulets were similar to army epaulets, but they were ¾ smaller in width. Given the fact that the army rank was placed above all others, when transferring to the police service, the owner retained his army rank and the right to wear shoulder straps of the army type.
Who is the urban
Like officer ranks, the lower ranks retained their army rank, but they were additionally assigned a police rank. So the police officers, who had the army ranks of private and corporal, received the rank of city lower salary. It was the lowest rank in the police of Tsarist Russia.
Further, by seniority, there were junior non-commissioned officers who were awarded the police rank of the city middle salary and senior non-commissioned officers with the rank of city senior salary. Unlike army ranks, which differed in the number of bows on the pursuit, police officers wore shoulder twisted cords and differed in the number of gombos (rings) on them.
