  compensation,  as  defined  in  subdivision  two of this section, of the
  permanent full-time head of the police department shall be increased  to

  received by the next subordinate police officer in the event  that  such
  subordinate  officer's  other compensation is increased.  The provisions
  of this section shall not apply to any head of a police  department  who
