Captain: Captain’s make sure that everything runs smoothly, they assist the higher ups as much as they can and make sure that the other officials, lower than they are, are doing what they have to do. If Big situations occur where the Lieutenants can’t handle it the Captain has to step in. The Captain is in close touch with the higher ranks and they have authority to suspend people until further notice from the Chief.
Commander: Commanders are the lead in the Fieldwork. They make sure that the entire City runs smoothly and without trouble. They are the right hand of the Chief’s.
