Police agencies are organized differently, usually depending on number of employees.

Starting from the bottom/up there are:

Patrol Officers

Sergeants (who supervise patrol officers)

Lieutenants (who supervise Sergeants)

Captains

Deputy Chief(s)

Chief

Police agencies are classified as paramilitary which means it is structured similar to the Army, Marines etc.

Organized crime is exactly what it sounds like. Crime that is executed in an organized fashion, or by an organized group. La Cosa Nostra (Italian Mafia) is an example of an organized group that commits crimes, thus they're under constant investigation by Organized Crime Units.

What are the three agencies of criminal justice?

The three agencies in criminal justice (in a consensus model, like in the United States) are the police, criminal courts, and correctional agencies. A case will go through the agencies in that order, starting with the police (which identifies crimes) and ending with the correctional agencies (once the agency reforms and reintroduces the convict to the public). The police identify and investigate crimes, the courts hold trials and sentence those found guilty of crimes, and the correctional agencies carry out the sentences that the courts set.
