police constable

Lowest ranking cop

A police constable is a police officer of the lowest rank in British and Commonwealth police forces.

The title is often abbreviated to PC: PC Davies took my statement.

In Britain, constable remains the formal term for a uniformed officer regardless of how long they've served, though most people simply say officer or cop in casual speech.
