DS – Detective Sergeant
DI – Detective Inspector
DCI – Detective Chief Inspector
Det Supt – Detective Superintendent
DCS – Detective Chief Superintendent
ACC – Assistant Chief Constable
DCC – Detective Chief Constable

FLO – Family Liaison Officer
FME – Forensics Medical Examiner

AC-12 – Anti-Corruption Unit 12
ARU – armed response unit
CPS – Crown Prosecution Service
