Chinese term or phrase: 单警
台湾警察调查记录上最后的一句话：因警力不足，由单警做调查记录

我在网上根本找不到任何“单警”的介绍，不管是大陆的还是台湾的

单警究竟是警察的一个警衔（如助理警察），还是“单个警察”？

Explanation:
only one police officer/a single police officer

if you consider it together with 因警力不足, it means only one cop was available to do that part of work. 意思是只有一个警察/没有第二个警察参与，individual 没有这样的意思，不能准确反映这句话的意思。

Grading comment
Thank you. I accept "only one officer". The reason why I hesitated in the beginning was that I found it unusual to comment that one officer was used only due to shortage of police force, as at least in New Zealand, it is very common to have only one officer to interview suspects and witnesses (and take notes), with or without shortage of resources.

  -> Thank you, but this "single" is not how you understand it. It has nothing to do with "divorced".
