Which position is classified as Executive Staff?

• A. Captain
• B. Sergeant
• C. Major
• D. Lieutenant

Answer: (C)

Executive staff refers to the senior leaders who set policy and oversee large parts of the organization, handling major divisions, budgets, and strategic priorities. In PBSO and similar agencies, the rank of Major sits at that top tier, with responsibilities that go beyond day-to-day supervision to guiding the agency’s broader direction. Captains and Lieutenants are important command ranks who supervise units or sections and carry out directives, but they typically operate within defined areas rather than directing the entire agency. Sergeants are frontline supervisors overseeing patrols or teams. Because of the broader scope and higher-level administrative duties, Major is classified as Executive Staff.
