'''Commissioners of Police''' | '''Commissioners of Police''' in India are heads of the police force in certain metropolitan areas colloquially referred to as 'police commissionerates'. | ||
They are traditionally members of the [[Indian Police Service]] with [[District magistrate|executive magisterial]] powers not granted to other senior police officers (members of the Indian Police Service), evolving from the historical role of [[justice of the peace]], assigned to commissioners leading the [[Presidencies and provinces of British India|presidency towns]] of [[British Raj|British India]]. | |||
The | The rank and authority conferred upon commissioners of police is largely uniform throughout India in that they are all executive magistrates under the [[Code of Criminal Procedure (India, 2023)|Code of Criminal Procedure]], however varies in that a commissioner of police forces of larger cities tend to be equated to higher ranks in the Indian Police Service—three of India's four biggest cities are led by commissioners equated to the rank of [[Director general of police|director-general of police]]. The police commissioner of lowest rank in India is that of [[Thrissur City Police]], which is led by a [[Superintendent of police (India)|superintendent]] (the lowest possible rank of a police commissioner) | ||
== | Commissioners of police and their police forces are generally subordinate to and part of the police force of the state thereof, the only exceptions being [[Delhi]], [[Mumbai]] and [[Kolkata]]. The police forces of Mumbai and Kolkata are not part of the police force of their respective states; they report directly to their states' home ministers. As Delhi is a [[union territory]] with limited self-government, the commissioner does not report to the local government; it reports directly to the central minister of home affairs. All, except one ([[Patna]]), of the 20 largest cities in India have police forces headed by commissioners of police. | ||
Following is the list of | |||
Commissioners of Police in [[Kerala]] do not have magisterial powers. The [[Government of Kerala]] appointed senior [[Inspector-general of police|IGP]]-rank IPS officers as Commissioners of Police for [[Thiruvananthapuram]] and [[Kochi]] as an initial step towards a full police commissionerate system; however, the move faced opposition.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2019-06-07 |title=Vijay Sakhare, Dinendra Kashyap to head Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram commissionerates |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/thiruvananthapuram/sakhare-kashyap-to-head-kochi-and-tpuram-commissionerates/articleshow/69682681.cms |access-date=2025-12-31 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref> Consequently, the state government has not granted magisterial powers to the commissioners due to political opposition, including from within the ruling coalition.<ref>{{Cite web |last=S |first=Shan A. |date=2025-01-02 |title=Kerala govt bins commissionerate proposal, DIGs to hold commissioner posts |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/thiruvananthapuram/2025/Jan/02/kerala-govt-bins-commissionerate-proposal-digs-to-hold-commissioner-posts |access-date=2025-12-31 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Analysis {{!}} What happens when executive power shifts from IAS to IPS |url=https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2019/06/14/analysis-what-happens-when-executive-power-shifts-from-ias-to-ip.html |access-date=2025-12-31 |website=Analysis {{!}} What happens when executive power shifts from IAS to IPS |language=en}}</ref> | |||
==History and description== | |||
Traditionally at the district level, the [[Superintendent of Police]] (SP) or Senior SP (SSP) maintains law and order by working with the [[District Magistrate]] (DM). Under the Commissioners of Police (CP) system, the state governments may or may not grant certain powers of the executive magistrate to the commissioner, contrary to the Superintendent of Police or Senior SP of a [[police district]] who depends on the district magistrate. For large metropolitan cities, the CP system is generally considered more suitable policing system. The commissioner is assisted by special commissioner, joint commissioner, additional commissioner, deputy commissioner, assistant commissioner of police.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-what-is-the-commissionerate-system-recently-implemented-in-lucknow-noida-6214871/|title=Explained: What is a police commissionerate system|publisher=Indian Express|date=15 January 2020|accessdate=17 May 2021}}</ref> | |||
The Commissionerates present in [[New Delhi]], [[Chennai]], [[Madurai]], [[Coimbatore]], and [[Kolkata]] can be considered true Commissionerates as they exercise the powers of the District Magistrate and the Executive Magistrate. The organisational structure of the police commissionerates varies state to state. For instance, the Police Commissioners of [[Delhi]], [[Mumbai]] and [[Kolkata]] report directly to the state government and not to the [[Director general of police|DGP]]. Similarly, in [[Kerala]], the Commissioner of Police does not have magisterial powers.<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Impact of police commissionerates on police effectiveness and policing outcomes. |url=https://www.bprd.nic.in/WriteReadData/userfiles/file/202212280356389608596ImpactofPoliceCPEPO.pdf |journal=Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD), Government of India}}</ref> | |||
=== Commissionerates === | |||
A Police Commissionerate's jurisdiction can consist of several adjoining [[District (India)|districts]]. The [[Hyderabad City Police]] commissionerate since 1847 AD, established in the erstwhile [[Hyderabad State]] by the [[Nizam of Hyderabad|Nizams]] is the oldest police commissionerate in India.<ref name="hp">{{cite web |title=About us |url=https://hyderabadpolice.gov.in/AboutUs.html |publisher=Hyderabad City Police |access-date=25 May 2022}}</ref><ref name="cp">{{cite web |title=Know your police station |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/who-will-control-law-and-order-in-hyderabad-after-formation-of-telangana/articleshow/26730958.cms?from=mdr |publisher=The Economic Times|date=2 December 2013|access-date=25 May 2022}}</ref> The British India government brought the CP system first to Kolkata and Chennai in 1856, and followed it in Mumbai in 1864.<ref name="Hindu_FromPaddyFields">{{cite news |last=Narayanan |first=Vivek |date=11 October 2013 |title=From paddy fields to colonial houses |newspaper=The Hindu |location=Chennai |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/from-paddy-fields-to-colonial-houses/article5222395.ece?ref=sliderNews |access-date=31 May 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Chaware |first=Dilip |date=24 November 2003 |title=How the city police slowly lost its glory |newspaper=[[The Times of India]] |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/How-the-city-police-slowly-lost-its-glory/articleshow/298198.cms |access-date=31 May 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The Empire At Its Zenith |url=http://www.kolkatapolice.gov.in/TheEmpireAtZenith.aspx |publisher=Kolkata Police}}</ref> | |||
=== Organisational structure === | |||
The police commissionerate is headed by a Commissioner of Police (CP). The post of Commissioner of Police can be held by an IPS officer of the rank SP and above, depending upon the sanction provided by the respective state government (or, in the case of [[Delhi Police|Delhi]], by the [[Government of India]]). The commissioner of police is assisted by special, joint, additional, deputy, and assistant commissioners of police, sanctioned by the respective state government.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Organizational Structure {{!}} Pune City Police |url=https://admin.punepolice.gov.in/org |access-date=2023-12-09 |website=admin.punepolice.gov.in}}</ref> The organisation consists units like law and order, crimes, administration, armed reserve police, traffic police, special branch, security, etc. For the maintenance of law and order, there are police zones, divisions and sub divisions. Typically divisions are headed by [[Deputy commissioner#India|deputy commissioners of police]] (DCPs), and sub divisions are headed by [[Assistant commissioner of police#India|assistant commissioners of police]] (ACPs). | |||
==== Hierarchy ==== | |||
The [[hierarchy]] of posts in Police Commissionerate system of [[Delhi]] is as given below, Police Commissionerate system in other cities may not have one or more of these posts:- | |||
* [[Commissioner of Police]] (CP) i.e. DGP equivalent | |||
* [[Special Commissioner of Police]] (Spl.CP) i.e. Addl. DGP equivalent | |||
* [[Joint Commissioner of Police]] (Jt. CP) i.e. IG equivalent | |||
* [[Additional Commissioner of Police]] (Addl.CP) i.e. DIG equivalent | |||
* [[Deputy Commissioner of Police]] (DCP) i.e. SSP or SP equivalent | |||
* [[Additional Deputy Commissioner]] of Police (Addl.DCP) i.e. Addl. SP equivalent | |||
* [[Assistant commissioner of police]] (ACP) i.e. DSP or ASP equivalent | |||
The subordinate police officers' hierarchy in the Police Commissionerate system is the same as in a district police headed by a Senior SP/SP, including ranks such as police inspector, sub-inspector, assistant sub-inspector, head constable, and constable.<ref>IMPACT OF POLICE COMMISSIONERATES ON POLICE EFFECTIVENESS AND POLICING OUTCOMES; [[Bureau_of_Police_Research_and_Development]] Government of India.[https://www.bprd.nic.in/WriteReadData/userfiles/file/202212280356389608596ImpactofPoliceCPEPO.pdf]</ref> | |||

Commissioners of Police in India are heads of the police force in certain metropolitan areas colloquially referred to as 'police commissionerates'.
They are traditionally members of the Indian Police Service with executive magisterial powers not granted to other senior police officers (members of the Indian Police Service), evolving from the historical role of justice of the peace, assigned to commissioners leading the presidency towns of British India.
The rank and authority conferred upon commissioners of police is largely uniform throughout India in that they are all executive magistrates under the Code of Criminal Procedure, however varies in that a commissioner of police forces of larger cities tend to be equated to higher ranks in the Indian Police Service—three of India's four biggest cities are led by commissioners equated to the rank of director-general of police. The police commissioner of lowest rank in India is that of Thrissur City Police, which is led by a superintendent (the lowest possible rank of a police commissioner)
Commissioners of police and their police forces are generally subordinate to and part of the police force of the state thereof, the only exceptions being Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. The police forces of Mumbai and Kolkata are not part of the police force of their respective states; they report directly to their states' home ministers. As Delhi is a union territory with limited self-government, the commissioner does not report to the local government; it reports directly to the central minister of home affairs. All, except one (Patna), of the 20 largest cities in India have police forces headed by commissioners of police.
Commissioners of Police in Kerala do not have magisterial powers. The Government of Kerala appointed senior IGP-rank IPS officers as Commissioners of Police for Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi as an initial step towards a full police commissionerate system; however, the move faced opposition.[1] Consequently, the state government has not granted magisterial powers to the commissioners due to political opposition, including from within the ruling coalition.[2][3]
History and description[edit | edit source]
Traditionally at the district level, the Superintendent of Police (SP) or Senior SP (SSP) maintains law and order by working with the District Magistrate (DM). Under the Commissioners of Police (CP) system, the state governments may or may not grant certain powers of the executive magistrate to the commissioner, contrary to the Superintendent of Police or Senior SP of a police district who depends on the district magistrate. For large metropolitan cities, the CP system is generally considered more suitable policing system. The commissioner is assisted by special commissioner, joint commissioner, additional commissioner, deputy commissioner, assistant commissioner of police.[4]
The Commissionerates present in New Delhi, Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore, and Kolkata can be considered true Commissionerates as they exercise the powers of the District Magistrate and the Executive Magistrate. The organisational structure of the police commissionerates varies state to state. For instance, the Police Commissioners of Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata report directly to the state government and not to the DGP. Similarly, in Kerala, the Commissioner of Police does not have magisterial powers.[5]
Commissionerates[edit | edit source]
A Police Commissionerate's jurisdiction can consist of several adjoining districts. The Hyderabad City Police commissionerate since 1847 AD, established in the erstwhile Hyderabad State by the Nizams is the oldest police commissionerate in India.[6][7] The British India government brought the CP system first to Kolkata and Chennai in 1856, and followed it in Mumbai in 1864.[8][9][10]
Organisational structure[edit | edit source]
The police commissionerate is headed by a Commissioner of Police (CP). The post of Commissioner of Police can be held by an IPS officer of the rank SP and above, depending upon the sanction provided by the respective state government (or, in the case of Delhi, by the Government of India). The commissioner of police is assisted by special, joint, additional, deputy, and assistant commissioners of police, sanctioned by the respective state government.[11] The organisation consists units like law and order, crimes, administration, armed reserve police, traffic police, special branch, security, etc. For the maintenance of law and order, there are police zones, divisions and sub divisions. Typically divisions are headed by deputy commissioners of police (DCPs), and sub divisions are headed by assistant commissioners of police (ACPs).
Hierarchy[edit | edit source]
The hierarchy of posts in Police Commissionerate system of Delhi is as given below, Police Commissionerate system in other cities may not have one or more of these posts:-
- Commissioner of Police (CP) i.e. DGP equivalent
- Special Commissioner of Police (Spl.CP) i.e. Addl. DGP equivalent
- Joint Commissioner of Police (Jt. CP) i.e. IG equivalent
- Additional Commissioner of Police (Addl.CP) i.e. DIG equivalent
- Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) i.e. SSP or SP equivalent
- Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Addl.DCP) i.e. Addl. SP equivalent
- Assistant commissioner of police (ACP) i.e. DSP or ASP equivalent
The subordinate police officers' hierarchy in the Police Commissionerate system is the same as in a district police headed by a Senior SP/SP, including ranks such as police inspector, sub-inspector, assistant sub-inspector, head constable, and constable.[12]

Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ The Delhi Police Commissioner, a Director General (DGP) rank officer, is the head of Delhi Police. This is the only case in India where a CP (Commissioner of Police) heads the police force of the whole state/UT.
- ↑ In Kerala Police, the Commissioners of Police (CPs) are officially also known as the District Police Chiefs (DPCs) of the respective police districts. [32] [33]
- ↑ The posts of Commissioner of Police (CP) of Mumbai and DGP (Director general of police i.e. state police chief) of Maharashtra are held by two different officers, both of whom are of Director General (DGP) rank. The Mumbai CP is one of the few CPs in the country who does not report to the state DGP. Both Mumbai CP and Maharashtra DGP report to ACS (Additional Chief Secretary) of Home Department of Maharashtra, who is a senior IAS officer.[41][42]
- ↑ Kolkata Police functions independently of the West Bengal Police, and its Commissioner of Police reports directly to the Home and Hill Affairs Department of the Government of West Bengal. The Kolkata CP is one of the few CPs in the country who does not report to the state DGP. Both Kolkata CP and WB DGP report to ACS (Additional Chief Secretary) of Home Department of West Bengal, who is a senior IAS officer.[41][42]
