Depends on the account.
Some accounts have ranks like Sgt, Lt, Capt. Others have different structures.
At my account it's just Security Officers and Security Officers with Emergency Medical Technician certification. At least one SO/EMT is on each shift and that person is considered the shift supervisor. One of the EMTs is the Site Supervisor. He gets to deal with the client, setting up the schedule and handeling any problems that crop up.
We have people dressed in uniforms pulling drivers over and attacking them so the need for the restrictions on rank titles etc. I believe this is national and not just local to my state.
As opposed to the simpler step of making non-official people stopping other drivers illegal?
That's a lot like gun control in the US...Murdering people is already illegal, but why not ban the inanimate object used to do it? I can load my gun, cock it (on my new 1911), leave the safety off, and set it on my kitchen table. Since most gun grabbers think that guns kill people, I ask them what would then happen? Answer: Nothing. It could sit there until the house collapses, and not go off. It takes a human's action to do the killing.

Our rank structure resembles the military rank structure with some exceptions though.

(Probationary Officer) - not specifically designated as such.
The "Officer III/II" distinction has to do with difference in pay level ($1.50/hr)for additional training/education, not a difference in responsibilities or "rank" per se. If they have also completed 40-hour supervisor training, either Officer III or II can be assigned to "acting supervisor" status as needed (at supervisor pay level when so assigned, of course).
