What are the titles of Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Captain in the court officer hierarchy?

  1. Positions

  2. Duties

  3. Ranks

  4. Levels

The correct answer is: Ranks

Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Captain are titles that indicate different ranks within the court officer hierarchy, not positions, duties, or levels. While each rank may come with certain positions or duties, they are not synonymous with these terms. Additionally, titles can also vary within a specific rank, such as "Senior Sergeant" or "Deputy Lieutenant." Therefore, "ranks" is the most accurate term to describe these titles.
