In the late Republic of China, the police rank was more complicated. If distinguished by epaulettes, it can be roughly divided into four categories: special officials, summary officials, recommendation officials and appointed officials. Among them, the special officer (all-gold epaulettes) has not been granted, so the ranks are only simple officers, recommended officers and appointed officers, which are similar to the ranks of general officers, school officers and junior officers in general, but the classification is finer:

There are three gold threads (yellow stripes) on the Jian Guan epaulettes, four first-class or second-class Venus, three third-class or fourth-class Venus, two fifth-class or sixth-class Venus and one seventh-class or eighth-class Venus. There are two gold medals on the epaulettes of the recommended officials, four gold stars for the first to third grades and three gold stars for the fourth to sixth grades.

Two in grades seven to nine and one in grades ten to twelve; The official epaulettes are tied with gold thread. There are four gold stars in grades 1 to 4, three in grades 5 to 8, two in grades 9 to 12 and one in grades 13 to 16.
