Comisario

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) Comisario- Certificado de antecedentes penales
Hola, estimados. Me encuentro traduciendo un certificado de antecedentes penales y al pie del documento aparece una firma y un sello. En el sello se lee ''Comisario de la Provincia de Córdoba''. Lo he visto como ''Police commissioner'' y ''Police Superintendent'' pero la verdad no estoy segura si son equivalentes apropiados. Desde ya gracias.

Para muestra, un botón In that snapshot of US culture that is The Simpsons, Clancy Wiggum is the chief of police. The Commissioner would be his superior and a more political appointment.

Commission es una autorización para llevar a cabo actuaciones, mientras que la designación Jefe de la Policía (Chief of Police) está por encima jerárquicamente de estar comisionado en una jurisdicción distinta a la central.
Example sentence:

The police Commissioner offered an interview to the media explaining the reasons.

Peer comment(s):
neutral James A. Walsh : Agree with your explanation, but in reality, as an English (UK) speaker, I understand "Chief of Pilice" quicker than "Commissioner", which strikes me as an "EU English" term, frankly. I just wouldn't use it unless referring to the EU...

agree neilmac : There may be situations/locations where the Commissioner is senior to the "Chief"... (Commissioner Gordon from Batman springs to mind).

Head of Police Precinct

Como el comisario es generalmente el "jefe" de una comisaría o seccional, creo que "Head of Police Precinct, Province of Córdoba" (con la coma en el medio) es más preciso que "Chief of Police" o "Commissioner", que son rangos de mayor nivel en los sistemas de muchos países.

"Chief of Police Precinct" podría funcionar, pero me quedo con "head".

Hope it helps!
