Police Act of 1861, which was based on the recommendations of the
Police Commission of 1860.
• Section 4 of this statute lays down the principles, on which the
organization of the police force rests till today.
• Under this act the police were made subordinate to the Executive
Government.

of 1861 continued to dominate over the police system in the country

of the rank of Deputy Inspector General of Police.

depending on its area, population and volume of crime. Between the police
station and the subdivision, there are police circles in some states - each
circle headed generally by an Inspector of Police.
