Captain of Aurors was a position at the Magical Congress of the United States of America that presumably played a part in overseeing the work of American Aurors.
History
In 1926, the position was held by M. P. Carneirus.[1] Their signature often appeared on wanted posters made by MACUSA as certification.[2]
Behind the scenes
- In most U.S. police departments, the ranks of captain are usually held by veterans with extensive experience who is often the officer in charge of a precinct. Seen as how MACUSA ranked theirs in a similar fashion, it can be assumed the Captain has a position of leadership, but not necessarily is the officer in charge. This is supported by how the commander (sometimes used instead of 'inspector' outrank the captains).
- It is possible that the Captain is in charge of a specific division, but still is answerable to the Department of Aurors, which presumably is headed by the Auror Commissioner.
