Abstract: Appropriate communication requires the use of appropriate words in a given context.Most often, people find it difficult to communicate accurately because of their dearth of knowledge of the appropriate vocabularies or registers to use in each situation.The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and the Nigerian armed forces tend to prove some reasonable level of difficulty for people to discuss as they are not conversant with the terms and terminologies used in the forces.To proffer a little solution in this direction, this paper embarks on a presentation and discussion of ranks and ranking in the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), bringing out the implications of such old-time practice in the force.It is obvious that ranks and ranking are but a minute aspect of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), meaning many other aspects abound for further discussion.This paper therefore leaves room for other scholars to investigate into those other aspects for the ease of linguistic and professional communications in the domain of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
