[PW] "Officer"

[JMGreen]

Often a law enforcement person is referred to as "Officer" 
--  sometimes even insists or this reference.

Is "officer" a title or a job description?  Does it reflect on 
his/her rank ? Why should s/he be referred to as officer rather then 
say Mr/Miss? Especially since s/he usually refers to someone by the given name?

Just a reflection of too much TV.
