English to Danish translations [PRO]
Cinema, Film, TV, Drama / \'Police sergeant\' (en-US) på dansk?
English term or phrase: Police sergeant
Jeg sidder med nogle undertekster og har normalt ikke tekster, der omhandler kriminalitet og mord, men nu er min ellers tilforladelige dramaserie blevet lidt mere dramatisk:
Der er sket et mord, og den, der leder efterforskningen, ankommer til stedet og præsenterer sig som "Sergeant Mary Johnson".
Er der nogen, der ved, hvordan det kan overføres til dansk eller hvordan?

På forhånd mange tak.

politiassistent
Explanation:
I looked up the definition online for police sergeant, and it looks like it used to be referred to as overbetjent. However, according to Den Danske Ordbog online, the term overbetjent is no longer used in the Danish police force. Looking up ranks in the Danish police, I would assume that politiassistent is the term to be used here.
