Complete Step by Step Answer:

The Superintendent of Police is in-charge of all the police stations in a district. The Senior Superintendents of Police are the officers of the Indian Police Services. They are charged with the power and responsibility of the maintenance of law and order and other issues of a metropolitan district of any State or Union territory of our country. The Superintendent of Police are the officers of either Indian Police Services or State Police Services. The Superintendent of Police is the in-charge of all the police stations of non-metropolitan districts in India. The rank of superintendent is identical to the rank of second in command and deputy command in the Central Armed Police Forces. The badge of Superintendent is the Ashoka symbol above no star or one star. The Superintendents of Police are the heads of the police force of a district or large urban or rural area in a district.

Note: Police station is a place which acts as an accommodation for police officers and other staff members. The Superintendent ranked IPS officers wear the IPS badge below the Ashoka emblem and the Superintendent ranked State Police Service officers wear the State Police badge below the star. The Superintendent of Police is also called the Deputy Commissioner of Police. Do not get confused between the Superintendent of Police and the Senior Superintendent of Police.
