Assistant Sub-Inspector is the full form of ASI. In India’s police and paramilitary services, it is the entry rank in the officer grade. A non-gazetted police officer who ranks above a police head constable but below a sub-inspector is known as an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) (SI). An ASI can be an investigating officer, however most of the time the Investigating Officer is an Inspector or a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP). In Border Security Forces such as the BSF, ITBP, and others, the ASI is usually in charge of the Border Patrol platoon.
