SPs should post SHOs on the basis of merit and professionalism and not act on mere political recommendations without checking their credentials. SPs should carry out a 360-degree review on the working, neutrality, integrity of an official before posting 

him/her at such a key position. To this end, they may contact the previous SPs of the official concerned, the DGP has further stated.
Similarly, the PHQ should create a pool of officials based on their merit, professionalism, integrity, and past records which can help SPs in taking an informed decision while posting officials at key posts.
He has also issued directions that the vacancies of Sub-Inspectors and Inspectors in the districts should be filled on priority so that SPs have sufficient strength to choose from on the basis of merit for such key and sensitive posts.
