Bihar Police has announced a significant change in its operational structure, mandating that Inspectors will now head police stations across the state. This move aims to strengthen law and order management.
In a major administrative overhaul, the Bihar Police Department has decided to elevate the leadership at police stations. Henceforth, Station House Officer (SHO) duties will be exclusively assigned to officers of the Inspector rank.
This directive, issued by the Director General of Police (DGP), signifies a shift away from the previous practice where Sub-Inspectors often held command of police stations. The department believes this change will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of policing.
The primary objective behind this restructuring is to bolster law and order across Bihar. By placing more senior officers in charge of police stations, the administration aims to improve response times and overall crime control measures.
