Re: ACP or SP: Which is the higher post?

For a district (Let's consider a capital district like Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, Bangalore etc.), maintaining law and order is too difficult. For the easiness, the district is divided into Rural and City
City Police is headed by a Commissioner who is in the rank of DIG and Rural Police is headed by SP (either IPS or non IPS).
ACP stands for Assistant Commissioner of Police, who comes under City Police. ACP reports to DCP (Deputy Commissioner of Police) who in turn reports to City Police Commissioner.
In Rural SP is equivalent to DCP in City. In simple words, SP is in higher rank than ACP. Equivalent rank of ACP in Rural Police is DSP (DySP in certain States) which stands for Deputy Superintendent of Police. DSP reports to SP as ACP reports to DCP.
Hope you understood.

rank wise serial of different post in Indian Police
Ranks of Gazetted Officers


1 Director Intelligence Bureau (post held by senior most Indian Police Service officer; not a rank)
2 Commissioner of Police (State) or Director General of Police
3 Special Commissioner of Police or Additional Director General of Police
4 Joint Commissioner of Police or Inspector General of Police
5 Additional Commissioner of Police or Deputy Inspector General of Police
6 Deputy Commissioner of Police or Senior Superintendent of Police
7 Deputy Commissioner of Police or Superintendent of Police
8 Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police or Additional Superintendent of Police
9 Assistant Commissioner of Police or Deputy Superintendent of Police
10 Assistant Superintendent of Police (IPS Probationary Rank: 2 years of service)
11Assistant Superintendent of Police (IPS Probationary Rank: 1 year of service)

Hi there,

Thank you for the information, but the point 9 itself says that ACP =DySP and point 7 says DCP =SP. Thus, ACP is not a post higher than SP.

A.C.P post in metro cities equal to D.S.P or C.O in district level .A.C.P post is hold by both IPS and SPS officers.but the D.S.P or C.O is hold by SPS officers not by IPS officers. IPS officers are posted as probationary ASP s and SDPO s in district level . .D.C.P post in metro cities is equal to S.p or S.S.P in district level . It is hold by both IPS and promoted senior SPS officers .this post is senior than A.C.P post which is a junior level officer

Re: ACP or SP: Which is the higher post?

Hey guys i am also DCP WITH 2 STARS OR SSP
Sp means DCP which have our national emblem with 1 star and ASP also have national emblem with no star.and DSP or ACP has no national emblem.. It has only IPS mark with 3 stars

Conclusion is that
DCP OR SSP is greater post than SP and SP is greater post than ASP and ASP is greater than ACP %u2026 ..
SO SP is baap of ACP

Re: ACP or SP: Which is the higher post?

(ACP) Assistant Commissioner of Police and DSP are equivalent rank. An ACP can be promoted as DCP That is equivalent to the SP or SSP of a district........Let me explain in this way.....an ACP or DSP always put 3 stars on their shoulders without red and blue riben . As far as matter comes about an SP he always get emblem or an emblem with a star depending on the capacity of district.

Re: ACP or SP: Which is the higher post?

Wow, this thread is filled with so many idiots.

ACP = Assistant Commissioner of Police (Don't mistake it for Additional Commissioner of Police, which is a pretty higher post)

ACP also called as Dy.SP(Deputy Superintendent of Police) is the starting rank for IPS officers after probation period.

After 9 to 13 years of service, they reach the post of SP(Superintendent of Police) or DCP(Deputy Commissioner of Police).This is a District level post and the officer is incharge of all police stations under that district.

While ACP or Dy.SP is the starting IPS rank, it is an entry rank and the officer is incharge of certain police stations in the district.He can be called as Zonal police officer, since he is incharge of certain zones.Like it can be Mumbai East zone or Delhi south zone, etc. He is the Sub-Divisional officer.

So, its more than clear that SP or DCP is a much higher rank than ACP or Dy.SP.

Get your facts straight.

SP is higher rank than ACP. SP is of the rank of DCP(Deputy comissioner of police),while ACP(Assistant comissioner of police) is one step lower than DCP and thus lower than SP.If an IPS officer is oppointed at Muncipal city then he is ACP,DCP,CP,IG.....etc and when he is in non muncipal city he is ASP,DySp,SP......

Re: ACP or SP: Which is the higher post?

Sp is higher post than Acp. Sp means commandent officer(CO) and Acp means assistant command (AC) dont be confused that SP means DCP and Acp means Dsp . You can become acp after finishing 2 years of training but to become sp you need to get promote from acp,addl dcp than dcp(sp) dont get confused sp means deputy commissioner of police. So dcp(sp) is higher post than acp

Re: ACP or SP: Which is the higher post?

ACP means Assistant Commissioner Of Police. SP means Superindent Of Police.

Commissioner post is nearly a highest rank in Police Department in a city. Assistant Commissioner is next to it. Thus Assistant Commissioner post is higher post when compared to SP post.
