A. State level
B. Country level
C. District level
D. None of these

Answer 1

Hint:SSP (Senior Superintendent of Police) is a rank of the Indian Police Service. The Senior Superintendent, along with their junior officers, is entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining law and order and related issues. The rank just below is the SP i.e. Superintendent, and the rank above is of Deputy Inspector General of police.

Complete answer:
A Superintendent of Police (SP), also known as the District Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), is the head of the police force of a district. In districts where a senior superintendent is the head, the superintendent is the head of a large urban or rural area within a district. The superintendent is also the head of a large urban or rural area in a smaller district as well. In metropolitan areas having a police commissionerate system (like Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore or Mumbai), the head of the district police is known as the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), and he holds the rank of a Superintendent of Police (SP) or a Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP).

Therefore, the Superintendent of Police (SP) is the highest police official at the district level.
