Hi, hope it's okay if I jump in! (I friended you back; I remember reading your fics on the Yahoo Group, and it's nice to see you here at LJ. ^_^)
Anyhow, according to the character profile in the manga (I think it was in book 2), Leon is 24 years old. I don't know if Akino-sensei had a specific rank in mind, but as he is pretty young to be a detective, I think it's likely that he'd be the lowest rank, so Detective I sounds good. Plus, to get promoted, Leon would probably have to be more politic towards his superiors, and that's unlikely with his personality. ;)
I often wonder how he made detective in the first place, and speculate that perhaps he got promoted for doing something spectacularly heroic as a patrolman, like maybe saving a hostage or stopping a bank robbery.
