Officier dont le grade est immédiatement au-dessous de celui du capitaine. Bien qu'il appartienne au vocabulaire militaire, le terme lieutenant est couramment utilisé dans le domaine policier pour traduire le terme anglais lieutenant. Étant donné les différences d'organisation au sein des services de police, les équivalences de grade ne peuvent être qu'approximatives (surtout dans les polices étrangères). En outre, un même grade peut traduire des attributions différentes selon le service. 3, record 3, French, - lieutenant
