Usage notes
- Often refers to official roles: police, schools, labor, taxes. For a generic workplace “supervisor,” capo or responsabile is often more natural.
- In police contexts, ispettore is a rank/title. Capitalize only when used as part of a formal title before a name.
- The feminine is ispettrice, but some institutions still use ispettore for women in official titles; check the specific context.
