What is the full form of IG

IG: Inspector-General of Police

IG stands for Inspector-General of Police. In several nations, IG is a senior police officer in the police force or police service. The rank usually refers to the head of a large regional command within a police service, and in many countries refers to the senior most officer of the entire national police.

When anIPS officer completes 19 years of service, he is entitled to become an IG of Police.

In another way, one can write state Civil Services Examination [also called as Group I examination] conducted by the SPSC (state public service commission), get a good rank in it and join as a Deputy Superintendent of Police [DSP] in his home state.

The IG is charged with the overall administrative management of the police force, exercises independent command over the National Police Service and performs any other functions prescribed by national legislation.
