Question

What is the full form of: DSP, DGP, ASP, SP and ACP?

Answer 1

Hint: First established on August 17, 1865, the Indian Police Commission provided specific instructions for the intended system of police in India, and described the police as a governmental agency tasked with maintaining order, enforcing the law, and preventing and detecting crime. The Indian Police Service is a service that provides commanders and administrators to the state police agency and the centrally-run police forces.

Complete answer:
The full forms of the following abbreviations are listed down below:
DSP: The rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) is used by numerous police forces throughout the Commonwealth and, originally, the British Empire. Typically, the position is above assistant superintendent and below superintendent.

DGP: The Director General of Police (abbreviated DGP) is the top ranked law enforcement officer appointed in an Indian state or a Union Territory. The Cabinet appoints DGPs from the Indian Police Service, and they have a three-star rank. There may be other officers with the rank of DGP as appointed in the state.

ASP: Assistant superintendent, often known as assistant superintendent of police (ASP), is a rank that was used by police forces across the British Empire and is still maintained by many police agencies throughout the Commonwealth countries. It is still used in India, where the officer with this rank is from the Indian Police Service. Furthermore, assistant superintendent of police is a provisional position worn by officers during their first year of service and is also entitled to officers while undergoing training at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (SVPNPA), a civil service training facility in India.

SP: The full form of SP is Superintendents of Police and they work for either the State Police Service or the Indian Police Service. These personnel are the district heads of India's non-metropolitan or urban districts. They are also both in authority of a big urban or rural region in a district where the district head is a senior superintendent.

ACP: Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACP) are entry-level police officers assigned to urban regions.

Note: The Indian Police Service has 4920 designated cadre members (3270 Direct Recruitment Posts and 1650 Promotional Posts). The Civil List of IPS Officers is updated every year and the list is kept maintained by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, which contains the deployment information of all IPS officers across India.
