Police was the third pillar of the British rule formed by Lord Cornwallis. In this system, a district was divided into a number of Thanas each under a daroga whose responsibility was to maintain peace and order in his area. The District Superintendent of Police was the head of the police organization in a district.
Lord Cornwallis tried to make the Indian Civil Services honest and efficient by increasing the salary of the officers and by fixing the rule that promotion would be on the basis of seniority. The officers were not allowed to accept present and bribes.
Indians were excluded from it because all the high posts in the administration were held by Englishmen. They did not trust that the Indians would follow British policies in India.
