While the NPF does have a paramilitary organization, its ranks differ markedly from the proper military's. It is still a civilian organization and this is best reflected in the ranks and duties performed by its officers.
Command Rank in the NPF is the level at which police officers command and set policy from the rear instead of the field. While Station Chiefs may sometimes take to the field in a large case, it is a rare day for anyone higher to do so. The higher one goes, the more the job becomes about setting and enforcing the NPF's mission.

Field Officers are the men and women of the NPF who risk their lives daily to uphold and enforce Nepleslian law. When violence on the street erupts, they will bring greater force to bear in order to restore peace. There are three tiers of Field Officers: (1) the Commissioned Officers, who work in investigations and specialist units or command several squads of lower ranked officers; (2) Non-Commissioned Officers, experienced and hardened veterans, who work as the true field leaders, leading squads of (3) Field Officers, trained to respond to any crime or emergency.
