The rank of colonel is not less than SP but he is not authorized to cross his limits and he can only command his battalion and not civil police. He is expected to follow law of land and procedure.

In the list of precedence the rank of Colonel is equivalent to a Senior Superintendent of Police. However, a colonel's power is restricted to his area of command and cannot go beyond into civilian areas unless he is so empowered in emergencies.

He cannot act beyond his powers. His powers are restricted to his department only eventhough he is equal to superintendent of police.
