Which of the following is NOT correctly matched?

• A. Chief of Police - Three stars and a crown
• B. Deputy Chief of Police - Two stars and a crown
• C. Staff Superintendent - One star and a crown
• D. Superintendent - Crown only

Answer: (D)

Rank insignia use stars and crowns to show hierarchy: more stars mean a higher level, and the crown marks the command tier. In this set, the highest rank is shown with three stars plus a crown, the next with two stars plus a crown, and the next with one star plus a crown. The rank directly below these should carry at least one star with the crown.

Saying the Superintendent has a crown only would place it below the Staff Superintendent in this pattern, which breaks the established progression. Therefore, that pairing isn’t correct. The other three match the sequence: Chief of Police with three stars and a crown, Deputy Chief with two stars and a crown, and Staff Superintendent with one star and a crown.
