Rule 1.5

sub-division of the force territorially or by classes, such as mounted and foot Police, affects
this principle.
Though not liable to permanent transfer beyond the limits of the Punjab, every police
officer is empowered by section 3, Police Act III of 1888, when necessary, to exercise the
powers, functions and privileges of a police officer in any part of British India. In the exercise
of such functions a police officer is deemed to be a member of the police force of

Rule 1.6.
1.6. Deputy Inspectors-General - duties and functions of. - All Deputy Inspectors-

representatives of the Inspector-General of Police in their respective spheres.
The Deputy Inspector-General, Criminal Investigation Department, is responsible,
through the staff of his department, for the intelligence organization of the criminal administration;
in this capacity he is called upon to assist both the Provincial Government
and the district authorities. He is also authorised to call upon the district or railway police
for action in such matters, whether in respect of crime or intelligence, as may, from time
to time, be consigned to his charge. In respect of crime, however, he will keep the Deputy
Inspectors-General of the ranges concerned fully informed of all action which his department
is taking within the sphere of their jurisdictions.
The Deputy Inspector-General of a range is responsible to the Inspector- General for the
administration, training and discipline of the police of his range and for the efficiency of
their organisation and operations for the prevention and detection of crime. In the exercise
of this responsibility a Deputy Inspector-General will interfere as little as possible
with the executive authority of the Superintendents under him, and will permit such modifications
of practice and organization to suit local conditions as he may consider
advisable, and as the law and these rules allow. He will use his powers of control to secure
a uniform standard of efficiency and the fullest co-operation between districts and
branches of the force in the circulation of information and in action against criminals.
To ensure that efficiency shall not be impaired by undue variation in methods or practice
