Deputy inspector general of police

However, on occasion, the Inspector General of Police may assign a DIG with particularly significant responsibilities.

The post of DIG or Deputy Inspector General is equivalent to the rank of governmental Joint Secretary and Brigadier of Army or so in the armed services.

DIG-ranked officers wear Gorget patches on their collar which have a dark blue background and a white line stitched on it, similar to SSPs[1] There is no limit to the number of DIGs a state can have and most states have several DIGs.

Additionally, some DIGs head specialized units such as armed police, intelligence, crime branch, or administration, providing leadership and coordination in these critical areas.

Those holding this rank adorn the sultan's-crown insignia, accompanied by four five-pointed stars arranged in a diamond shape, all positioned above crossed baton and kris symbols.
