United Kingdom The rank of sub-inspector was introduced into the Metropolitan Police in the late 19th century. It did not last long, being effectively replaced by station sergeant in 1890. Officers who already held the rank retained it, and were promoted to inspector as soon as a vacancy arose.

Police Station
A police station is a facility operated by police or a similar law enforcement agency that serves to accommodate police officers and other law enforcement personnel. The role served by a police station varies by agency, type, and jurisdiction, but in larger agencies there may be multiple police stations that serve as regional or area sub-headquarters for personnel assigned to certain beats, administrative divisions, or police units, while in smaller agencies there may be fewer stations or even one singular police headquarters. Names While "police station" is the most generic term, individual law enforcement agencies tend to have specific names for their stations, including: *''Barracks'', used by American state police and highway patrol agencies, as well as in Ireland *''District office'', used by American state police and highway patrol agencies, as well as some municipal agencies like the Calgary Police Service *''Precinct house'' or ''precinct'', used by some large Americ ...
