The full form of SP is Superintendent of Police. The leader of the police force in a non-metropolitan district in India is the person with this title. The SP is a police officer who works for the Indian Police Service or the State Police Services. The name "Superintendent" is used in three different titles within the Indian police force: Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), and Superintendent of Police (SP). All police officers, from constables to assistant superintendents of police, report to the SP, who is in charge of preserving the district's peace and order and stopping criminal and terrorist activity.
SP produces a wide range of work.

To maintain discipline, keep the police force in balance, and keep it effective and well-trained.
