Equally.. why are Police generally referred to as Officers?

The vast majority of them hold no Warrant or Commission either...

In any case it is just a word... like Doctor...most of the "Doctors" I've spoken to in my life do not have a Doctorate.....

It's a courtesy title... nothing more. So who cares?
