Not always, they could be a Captain, for example.

Added: ALL police officers are OFFICERS of the law. Therefore, even though the term "officer" is often used a rank in many departments, technically EVERY sworn person on the department is an OFFICER of the law - from the Chief of Police right down to the newest rookie.
