Inspector-general of police
An inspector-general of police is a senior police officer in the police force or police service of several nations. The rank usually refers to the head of a large regional command within a police service, and in many countries refers to the most senior officer of the entire national police.
In Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Inspector General of Police heads the Bangladesh Police.
Most IGP's of Bangladesh Police serve a 2-3 year term of serving as an IGP before retirement
In Ghana, Inspector General of Police is the title of the head of the Ghana Police Service.
During the British Colonial era, the British Parliament introduced the Indian Councils Act 1861 in India. The act created a new cadre of police, called Superior Police Services, later known as the Indian Imperial Police. The highest rank in the service was the Inspector General. This rank is equivalent to Joint Commissioner of police in metropolitan areas.
Currently, in modern India, an inspector-general of police (IGP) is an officer from Indian Police Service (IPS). In a state, an inspector-general of police (IGP) holds the third-highest rank in the hierarchy, just below the rank of additional director general of police (Addl. DGP) and above deputy inspector general of police (DIG). Inspector-general of police (IGP) is a two star rank in the Indian Police Service. Officers at this rank typically have over 15 years of service and are entrusted with supervising police operations over a zone, which may comprise multiple police districts, or heading specialized units such as intelligence, training, or crime branches.
IGP-ranked officers wear gorget patches on their collars. Although it has a dark blue background which is similar to DIGs and SSPs, an oak leaf pattern is stitched on the patch; unlike DIGs and SSPs, which have a white line stitched on the patch.
In Indonesia, an inspector-general of police (inspektur jenderal polisi or abbreviated irjen (pol)) holds the third-highest rank of the Indonesian National Police (equivalent to a major general in the Indonesian National Armed Forces). Usually, police with rank inspector-general of police became a chief of regional police department with type-A classification (capital city, strategic and major/densely populated provinces), chief of divisions, special staff to the chief of national police, or deputy head of any agency under the police's territory.
