使用する際の注意点

• This term is the gender-neutral equivalent of policeman (male) and policewoman (female).
• The military distinction of officer versus nonofficer ranks usually does not apply to this term; in the usual usage, any properly engaged (i.e., qualified and oath-sworn) employee of a police force is an officer thereof.
