However, in some states like UP, till some time ago, out-of-turn promotion policy was in force, under which the government used to give promotions without completing the period for excellent or commendable work or encountering of a dreaded criminal. Due to this, a large number of police personnel used to get promoted soon. However, now the government has ended this policy.

After this, a police personnel can get promoted to the post of Assistant Sub Inspector i.e. ASI. After this, after serving for a few years, one can get promoted to the post of Inspector.
