'''Subdivision''' is an administrative unit below [[List of districts of Bihar|district]] level and above the [[Community development block in India|block]] level in every state of [[India]]. A district may have one or more subdivisions. Presently there are 101 subdivisions in 38 districts of [[Bihar]].<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.brandbharat.com/english/bihar/sub_divisions_of_bihar.html |title= Administrative Sub-Divisions of Bihar State, India |date= |website= www.brandbharat.com |publisher= |access-date=12 June 2018}}</ref> Subdivisions are a group of [[Community development block in India|blocks]], which is administered by Sub-divisional Officer (SDO) also called as [[Sub-Divisional Magistrate (India)|Sub-divisional Magistrate]] (SDM). SDM is similar to [[District Magistrate]] (DM) at subdivision level. They all are members of either the [[Indian Administrative Service]] (IAS) or the [[Bihar Public Service Commission|Bihar Administrative Service]] (BAS). Majority of DM and SDM in India are the members of the [[Indian Administrative Service|IAS]].

At the same time, there are 853 police stations in 43 ''Police Districts'' of Bihar. Police Districts are usually headed by an [[Superintendent of Police|Senior Superintendent of Police]] (SSP). A Police District is divided into Police Subdivisions, headed by a [[Deputy Superintendent of Police]] (DSP). All these [[Bihar Police]] officers are either a member of [[Indian Police Service]] (IPS) or Bihar Police Service (BPS). These Police Districts are different from the above 38 administrative or revenue districts of [[Bihar]].
