A probationary Assistant Superintendent of Police is required to undergo a course of instruction at the Provincial Police Training College for a period of sixteen months.
The rules for their training, subjects of instruction, examinations, practical training in the district, confirmation, and discharge are set out in Part II of the Provincial Police Training College Manual.
After they leave the college, the Assistant Superintendent of Police's practical training in the district should be conducted as follows:
(1) Office Work:
(a) English - Officers will be instructed in all the duties of the Chief Clerk, Accountant, and Superintendent of Police of the District Police in relation to the English office. This will include the manner of conducting correspondence, drafting special reports, keeping accounts, preparing pension papers, pay bills, and other similar documents, maintaining a crime register in English, and compiling and submitting criminal and other returns. To complete their training in this branch, officers will be placed in actual charge of the Chief Clerk and the Accountant, alternately, for such period as the Superintendent deems necessary.
(b) Languages - Officers will be required to handle police diaries and reports, prepare Hindi papers for the Superintendent's information and orders, and translate letters, orders, descriptive rolls, and membership papers for issue to police stations.
(2) Duties of Reserve Inspectors - Officers will be thoroughly instructed in the duties of a Reserve Inspector. They will learn about ammunition stores, arms, maintaining duty and other registers, distributing the daily duties of the Reserve, and supervising instruction in drill and gun handling, relieving the escort team, and inspecting the guard. To complete their instruction, they will be placed in actual charge of the duties of a Reserve Inspector for such period as the Superintendent deems necessary.
(3) Investigation - Officers will be deputed to accompany selected investigating officers and prepare notes and diaries for the Superintendent's review. They will then investigate petty cases on their own, submitting diaries in the manner required by Section 172 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and Chapter X of these Regulations. Finally, officers will be placed in actual charge of a city police station for twenty days. If there is no room for them at the station, they will be required to attend nine hours a day, the hours of attendance to be fixed by the Superintendent. During the camping season, they will camp for ten days near an important rural police station and assume charge of it for that period.
(4) Departmental Cases - Officers may be deputed to conduct preliminary investigations in cases involving departmental penalties.
(5) Prosecution of Cases - They will be required to record their comments on decided cases, especially those involving irregularities or illegalities, for the information and orders of the Superintendent of Police. They will be required to summarize the evidence and write their conclusions. They will then prepare cases for prosecution under the guidance of a competent officer. They will frequently attend courts to learn procedure and practice and should conduct prosecutions in three important cases.
(6) Inspection - The Superintendent will require officers under training to accompany him on inspections of arms and ammunition stores in police stations. Subsequently, the officers should be required to conduct inspections independently and submit their reports for the Superintendent's orders.
(7) After leaving the Police Training College and before being granted the certificates (a) to (e) below, the Assistant Superintendent of Police should, in any case, be attached to the Criminal Investigation Department and the Office of the Inspector General for one month.
(8) No examination is prescribed for practical work, but before an Assistant Superintendent is eligible to hold charge of a sub-division of a district or to hold office as in-charge of a district, he shall be required to obtain the "Infantry" and "Equitation" certificates as set out in the Police Training College Manual, Part II, and a certificate signed by the Superintendent and countersigned by the Deputy Inspector General of the Range to the effect that he—

(b) can intelligently superintend an investigation,
(c) can efficiently inspect a police station,
(d) can efficiently supervise the work of a police accountant,
(e) can efficiently conduct departmental proceedings under Section 7 of the Police Act.
