(Perhaps someone else can add to my answer. Here is what I have found for you.
At this website you can see the badges of various ranks of United Kingdom metropolitan police.

This website shows badges of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police:

United States police rank insignia seem more difficult to find on the Internet.
Here's one website that many give you some help.
