Section 676(a) in Police Regulations, Bengal , 1943
(a)Every effort should be made to spare special police officers any avoidable inconvenience or hardship. No more should be required from them than is necessary to enable them to perform the duty of keeping the peace which the law imposes on them; they should be employed in the manner best suited to make their personal influence felt and should not be assigned menial or unreasonable duties. The post of special police officer is to be regarded not as in any way dishonourable or involving harsh conditions but as an honourable office to which men are appointed for the preservation of the public peace.
