During the Republic of China, the police were roughly divided into three levels: police officer, sheriff and police officer. About equivalent to the current director of the police station.

During the Republic of China, the title of inspector generally existed only in the concession. Concession is the residence obtained by imperialist powers through unequal treaties, mostly located in port cities such as Shanghai, Tianjin and Xiamen. Different from the diplomatic circle of Dongjiaominxiang established by modern countries in Beijing, the concession allows foreigners (not just diplomats) to carry out activities that do not infringe their nationality. In other words, activities in the concession area may violate the laws of the country where the concession area is located. There is also a "residence" of the same nature. The existence of lease seriously violates the integrity of a country's territorial sovereignty and is a disguised colonial rule area. Due to various privileges in the concession, these privileges also seriously violated the judicial sovereignty of a country.
Therefore, imperialist countries manage all kinds of affairs in leasing according to their own governance methods. In terms of public security, countries such as Britain and France have set up police stations according to their own methods, including police officers, detectives and chief inspectors. Inspector is about equivalent to inspector now.

Take Shanghai as an example. The police are in charge of the police patrol. There are 65,438+04 police patrols in the public concession and 9 police patrols in the French concession. The head of the police patrol house is the inspector, who is the inspector below.
Now the inspector of the China police system is probably equivalent to the director of the police station or the division marshal of the Public Security Bureau.
In those days, Huang was very powerful (green gang's boss), so although his official position was not high (the only inspector in the French Concession), he looked majestic.
In fact, the detective's power is not very great.
