Rank in Indian police forces

Superintendent of police (India) ▸ Facts ▸ Comments ▸ News ▸ Videos

The Superintendent of Police (SP) is a rank in Indian police forces held by an officer who serves as the head of a police district primarily in rural areas. Other officers in SP rank may be appointed as the head of specialised wings, units or similar posts. In the commissionerate system in cities, an SP may be appointed as the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) under the Commissioner of Police. Since the district magistrate is the administrative head of a district encompassing the police district, the SP reports directly to the district magistrate, who has general control and direction over police administration in the district. In the organisation, SP sends monthly reports to the Director General of Police (DGP) through the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG).
