Just a layman who seems to know a little of a lot and a lot of a little.

It simply means 'sergeant in a city' police force.\n..I am only guessing when I add, that this designation may diffentiate a 'sergeant in city' [who will be serving under an inspector] from a sergeant in a rural locale - who would be possibly invested with extra powers, as there might not be an inspector to directly supervise him !

I've never heard of a police officer being a "social servant." A "civil servant," yes, like any other person enployed by a government or governmental agency.

At a local level, there are usually police officers and governmnent officials. These men and women prosecute and arrest criminals, who usually commit fairly petty crimes. However, such crimes can include drugs and gangs, etc.\n\nAt a state level, there are also state police and investigators, and also government officials. These vary by state, but the state conducts more serious investigations, etc. The bulk of state police resources are usually diverted to traffic control. \n\nAt the federal level, there are a lot of crime-fighting government organizations. Many have been combined as a result of the creation of the DHS (Department of Homeland Security). These agencies include (but remember, there are more):\n1) FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigations): investigates federal crimes such as terrorism, gangs, kidnappers, sex crimes, internet crimes, and public corruption.\n2) ATF, BATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms): regulates the sale of all the listed, and arrests gun-runners, etc.\n3) DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration): Arrests drug dealers at a large level, not street crime. The DEA has been criticized for ineffectiveness, but this is because of its small size.\n4) CIA (Central Intelligence Agency): Although the CIA is a spying organization, they also collect crime information and pass it on to the appropriate agency.\n5) NSA (National Security Agency): Same as above.\n6) NRO (National Reconnasaince Agency): Same as CIA and NSA.\n7) USSS (United States Secret Service): Protects the President and arrests counterfeiters. Has a very potent investigative ability.\n\nThe military also has organizations to combat crime, such as Military Police officers, who mainly patrol bars and arrest drunk servicemen, and Military intelligence agencies, such as ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) can attempt crime investigations.

Top civil servants are very influential, governments often turn to them when they are in difficulty.  Think back to the glory days of "Yes Minister" and "Yes Prime minister" and Sir Humphrey and you'll understand my meaning.

Depends on where you are.  Police are generally local departments governed by local politics.

Post Office worker.  Although, all government people have to take a civil service test, the job requirements are usually easier for this job.\n\nThat will effect any state you might want to work in.
