Section 215 · Paragraph 206. The Superintendent of Police must consult the District Magistrate before supplying additional police

If time permits, the Superintendent should consult the District Magistrate before providing additional guards under Section 13 of the Police Act (V of 1861), except when a small guard is required for a very short period.
The guard provided must be sufficiently large to enable it to perform its duties efficiently and without causing any hardship to the constables. The guard for day and night duty should not consist of less than four constables. Firearms should not be supplied to guards provided to private individuals without the approval of the Deputy Inspector General of the Range.
