Potuguese to English Terminology

[Tarry]

Hi Folks,
Just wondering if someone can help me with the translation from Portuguese to English of 'Corregedoria Geral da policia' and also 'Delegada de Policia".
Cheers!!!

"Corregedor" is the person who makes sure that the institution, the police in this case, is working under the terms of the law, without abuses. Corregedoria Geral da Policia is the department within the police at country level that does that. I don't know the term in English.

Delegado da Policia is an Inspector that does criminal investigation (like a Scotland Yard Inspector).

These terms are used in Brasil. In Portugal the names are different but the functions are basically the same.
