Police/Detective grades and uniforms

I try to figure how those ranks work with titles and uniforms.

First, I'm not sure if there are two careers in the game, Detective and Police, because I find it a bit confusing if Detectives actually dress like Police, and operate from a Police Station?

I found a mod giving me access to the uniform in CAS. There are 2 versions, blue with gold details, and black with silver details. What confuses me a bit is that a sim in the Detective career will use the golden uniform on early career stages. I don't know if they will ever use the silver version, because I did not play the full career. But in my book silver should be lower rank than gold...?

Do anyone know if these details refer to real life ranking? And how do you think Detective vs Police when it comes to titles and uniform? The career seems mixed. I'd much preferred this to be 2 careers.

Career titles: Cadet, Officer, Corporal, Detective, Senior Detective, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, Colonel, Chief.

I've read Carl's guide.

PS: Just discovered that the uniform police hat also comes with a white alternative. What grade/situation would you use that for?

  • I played through Detective once. Keep planning to do it again in my current legacy, but the kids keep up being more suited to a different career. I think the black uniform and I know the white hat are for the Chief of Police rank, because after you get done with the uniform ranks, your work outfit is a pair of slacks and a button down shirt with a gun holster (the kind that would normally be worn under a jacket) until you get to Police Chief

    Aha, that makes sense. Thanks! I've seen that detective outfit with the gun. Ok, white hat for top level. Then I only wonder what is the difference between silver and gold details. Because these outfits are CAS hidden, they got to have a purpose... hm...
  • Great! Thanks for posting the pics! Now there is only one item left, the black hat with silver detail... LOL Maybe they are both for Chief, who use different hats depending on situation...

    I've used the uniform wrongly in my video series, but hey-ho, life goes on :)
