I think she is angling for a pay rise as she posted much the same, albeit more concise, message in June last year on the RAFP thread immediately before it closed.
Two posts in 11 months, clearly a prolific protestrix.

Not it is not dubious> The police ranks equate to both civil service and armed forces commissioned officer ranks> I got the information direcly from a published MOD document>Even a mere Administrative Officer in the Civil service equates to a police officer and the second lieutenant?lieutenant ranks> Sorry this goddamn thing wont let me put in punctuation> All the ranks quoted and their service equivelents come from official MOD documents> I have not made them up>

I normally just reside in the background and never feel the urge to post but the drivel and tosh that Interpretrix has just posted means that I just have to bite!!
Whilst working in and around the SD814 world, a MOD Plod constable was equivalent to a troop, a Sgt was exactly that, an Inspector was a JO and a Chief Insp a Sqn Ldr. It got a bit blurred after that, true (home office) police ranks seemed to follow suit, HOWEVER, the big difference being that the police seemed to put the most qualified and most appropriate person into the job and if that was a PC then so be it.
As for the CS - Whilst at that secret logistics base in cambs when senior CS grades tried to remonstrate that "I'm equivalent to a Sqn Ldr/Wg Cdr/ Gp Capt......" then my usual response was to remind them not confuse having a grade with having a rank!!!!!
That said Interpretrix is right in that Service Policemen are required as it means that I don't have to do their job! As for a career with MODPlod, following my experiences alluded to above, MODPlod the MOD's version of Keystone Kops - neither one thing or the other! If you want to be a copper then join a home office force but if you want to be a MP then join RMP/RAFP etc.
Bite over..I shall now retire to the background, to hopefully continue enjoying PP.

Sorry to feed the troll but
What utter cr@p. You clearly have absolutely no idea what you are talking about!
Yeh Right!
Most ground trades in the RAF are none combatant and you may as well be civvies in uniform
Some of you may seek a career with MODPLOD when you finish your RAF endenured servitude

Listen up dumkoffs! I will say this only once. The information concerning the rank equivelents came from a Ministry of Defence information document in the public domain. I have not made them up. Why dont you try to look for it on the internet or make inquiries with MOD Police and verify the information?The lenth of a trade course will very according to what the civil servants and air rank brass hats decide is necessary for any given specialism. Some are longer others shorter. The course lenth does not have anything to do with a persons intellect or test score in the recruiting office.
The RAF Police have a wider range of more interesting and intelectually stimulating career paths than do most other trades. In the early acting corporal years they will be given the more mundane provost duties to cut their teeth on. Some of the adolesents may still be immature and allow the acting rank and provost role to go to their heads but they also have standing orders to perform certain duties even though such duties may annoy and frustrate those in other trades of all ranks. Many RAF Police NCOs may loathe doing such duties as you loathe them doing so.
Unlike the army and most of the Royal Navy. The vast majority of RAF personnel of all ranks are little more than civilians in uniform subject to military discipline. They will rarely if ever see action. Only the RAF Regiment, RAF Police, certain special forces trained Aircrew have any real significant combat training. If your air base was attacked most of you would be crapping yourselves silly whilst hiding in some safe bunker. That is not your fault it is what the ministry of defence and HM Government have decreed a largly none combattant air force personnel who are little more than civilians in uniform. Every trade as its usfulness within the RAF and all are essential for its operational capability.
My post appeares to have somehow entered this forum section rarther than the intended one that was originally clicked onto. It is informative though not well recieved. Nonetheless it is far better than the majority of pointless and mindless bloggs that appear to be posted here in answer to other people. Grow up and shut up. Accept people have diverse opinions. Constructive critisism is always welcome but not mindless prejudicial comments. By the way, contrary to some peoples belief. I am not female.
I am British but a naturalised American. I am also a senior police officer with the henrico county division of police.

Hahahahahaha now listen interprix or something like that before this thread gets closed down I would just like to ask if there a gibberish translator in the house?
We can't make head nor nail of that uber-babble you have flung onto the screen during your latest spasmodic seizure. Just as the strength of a solitary brick will not save a poorly built structure, your neat text does not redeem your craven incoherent words.
The Anti-Moron™ software on my PC went crazy when I started to read your post. You are obviously suffering from Clue Deficit Disorder.
Don’t you ever have a point beyond giving your fingers some exercise by dancing them randomly over the keyboard? Trying to get something of value out of your post is like trying to squeeze orange juice out of an apple.
Your message board incompetence is an inspiration to botched lobotomy patients everywhere. I suggest you hone your writing skills before applying borrowed glories as a mere typist.
Here's a tip: no one will ever know that you've had a lobotomy if you wear a wig to hide to the scars; stop posting your drivel on message boards, and learn to control the slobbering.
Oh a google search of your name brought this up

Note the bit about Perceptions of mental illness and psychiatric patients.

Oh that has set everyone off now, Interpretrix. Before the thread gets closed down after a spiral of invective, can I point out that either this document that you read somewhere on the internet, or your interpretation of it, is, in my opinion, flawed. If you could provide a link to it, we could comment on the assumptions or interpretations drawn and form a common view. The Administrative Officer/Constable/Pilot Officer comparison you found is clearly wrong, as this, now obsolete grade, certainly never a comissioned equivalent (Executive Officer was).
A few other minor points. As to just slagging us off as civies in uniform, I can assure you that many of us have kept our bodily functions under control when airbases have been attacked, and the numbers are, unfortunately, increasing daily. For a US law enforcement officer you have a remarkable knowledge of the views and opinions of the 'scuffers'. Finally, people think you are a female because of the 'trix' suffix to your nickname, as in dominatrix and er... some others. Now I must go before madame sees I have been naughty...
