Forty-one station house officers would be transferred for this purpose.Īdditionally, posts of a junior superintendent, senior clerk, clerk, confidential assistant and driver, too, have to be created.

The narcotics cell, with 16 DySPs will be renamed as Narcotic Cell and Gender Justice.
The DGP also recommended putting ASPs in charge of the wing in all the 19 police districts and creating a post of ASP in the Kannur Rural area. The posts would be that of two range Superintendents of Police (SPs), 20 ASPs, 20 Deputy Superintendents of Police (DySPs), 41 Inspectors of Police, 41 Sub-Inspectors (SIs), 43 Assistant Sub-Inspectors (ASIs), 124 SCPOs and 124 Civil Police Officer (CPOs).
The DGP also mooted the creation of 401 new posts since the current police strength would be inadequate to form the separate POCSO wing. The wing could have special units at the range and district levels. The proposal suggested the formation of a separate wing under an Inspector General of Police at the State level.
