senior police sergeant(s)
Explanation:
afaik, sergeant first class is a miltary rank, not a police rank in the US.

Police
The rank of Sergeant or its equivalent is common to the police of many countries. In the British police, Sergeant is senior to Police Constable and junior to Inspector. In most American police departments, Sergeant is the rank junior to Lieutenant. Many police forces also use the rank of Corporal. In the Irish Garda Síochána, Sergeant is senior to Garda and junior to Inspector. The New Zealand Police, and Australian police services, also have the rank of Senior Sergeant. Police sergeant is usually the highest rank which performs direct field supervision.

police sergeant may be enough. US is confusing since it's a state by state thing.
