1. The Indian Police Service (Devanāgarī:, Bhāratīya Pulis Sevā), simply known as Indian Police or IPS, is
one of the three All India Services of the Government of India.[4] In 1948, a year after India gained
independence from Britain, the Imperial Police (IP) was replaced by the Indian Police Service. The IPS is
not a law enforcement agency in its own right; rather it is the body to which all senior police officers
belong regardless of the agency for whom they work.
Objectives
The First Police Commission, appointed on 17 August 1865, contained detailed guidelines for
the desired system of police in India and defined police as a governmental department to
maintain order, enforce the law, and prevent and detect crime. The Indian Police Service is not a
force itself but a service providing leaders and commanders to staff the state police and all-India
Para-Military Forces. Its members, who are all at least university graduates, are the senior
officers of the police. With the passage of time Indian Police Service's objectives were updated
and redefined, the roles and functions of an Indian Police Service Officer are as follows:[5]
To fulfill duties based on broader responsibilities, in the areas of maintenance of public peace
and order, crime prevention, investigation, and detection, collection of intelligence, VIP security,
counter-terrorism, border policing, railway policing, tackling smuggling, drug trafficking,
economic offences, corruption in public life, disaster management, enforcement of socio-
economic legislation, bio-diversity and protection of environmental laws etc.

Last but not the least, to lead and command the force with courage, uprightness, dedication and
a strong sense of service to the people.
Endeavour to inculcate in the police forces under their command such values and norms as
would help them serve the people better.

social and economic milieu, respect for human rights, broad liberal perspective of law and
justice and high standard of professionalism.
[ ] History
Much before the Independence, superior police officers belonging to the Imperial Police (IP)
were appointed by the Secretary of State on the basis of competitive examination. The very first
open civil service examination for the service was held in England in June, 1893 and the top ten
candidates were appointed as probationers of the Indian (Imperial) Police. However, it is not
possible to pinpoint a date on which it could positively be claimed that the Indian Police came
into being. In around 1907, the Secretary of State’s officers were directed to wear the letters "IP"
on their epaulettes to distinguish them from the other officers not recruited by the Secretary of
State. In this sense, 1907 could be regarded as the starting point for the Indian Police.[1]
[ ] Reforms ordered by the Supreme Court (1996-2006)
Prakash Singh, one of the former Director Generals of Police of the states of Assam and
subsequently Uttar Pradesh and finally Director General of the Border Security Force, initiated a
3. Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court of India, asking the court to investigate
measures to reform the police forces across India to ensure the proper rule of law and improve
security across India.[6]
Several measures were identified as necessary to professionalize the police in India:
A mid or high ranking police officer must not be transferred more frequently than every two
years.
The state government cannot ask the police force to hire someone, nor can they choose the
Chief Commissioner.
There must be separate departments and staff for investigation and patrolling.
Three new authorities will be created in each state, to prevent political interference in the police
and also to make the police accountable for their heavy-handedness,[7] which will include the
creation of:
A State Security Commission for policies and direction
A Police Establishment Board, which will decide the selection, promotions and transfers of
police officers and other staff
A Police Complaints Authority, to inquire into allegations of police misconduct.
In 2006, due to a lack of action by all the state governments in India, the Supreme Court of India
ordered the state governments to report to it why the reform measures outlined were not
implemented.[8] After being questioned in front of the judges of the Supreme Court of India, the
state governments are finally starting to reform the police forces and give them the operational
independence they need for fearless and proper law enforcement.[9]
[ ] Cadre strength
The authorized cadre strength of Indian Police Service is 4720. (3270 Direct Recruitment Posts
and 1450 Promotional Posts).[10]

4. To serve in the IPS one has to be elevated from the state cadre or top the rigorous Civil Services
Examination conducted by Union Public Service Commission every year which is a common
examination for selection to All India Services, including various other Group A and Group B
services of Central Government.[11]
Civil Services Examination has a three stage competitive selection process. At stage one, there is
an objective type examination called the preliminary exam. This is a qualifying examination. It
consists of General Studies & aptitude test. Only the candidates who clear this, can appear for the
next stage called the Main examination which consists of nine papers. Each candidate has to
select two optional subjects, apart from which all candidates have to take a General Studies,
Essay and compulsory language paper and English paper. This is followed by an interview.
After selection for the IPS, candidates are allocated their Cadres. There is one cadre in each
Indian state, except for three joint cadres: Assam-Meghalaya, Manipur-Tripura, and Arunachal
Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram-Union Territories (AGMUT). As per Indian Constitution 2/3 of the
strength of every cadre is filled by direct IPS officers and rest 1/3 is elevated from respectve state
cadre officers. Each state and union territory of India has a state police force, headed by the
Commissioner of Police (State) or Director General of Police (DGP). It is controlled by the Chief
Minister and Home Minister of the state/union territory. The state police is responsible for
maintaining law and order in townships of the state and the rural areas. States such as Tamil
Nadu and Maharashtra have taken steps to get their police force trained by advanced police
training schools notably the Atlanta City Police of the USA. The Tamil Nadu state police is at
the forefront of advancement with the Tamil Nadu Police Academy, which now seeks university
status. The advanced training that the Tamil Nadu Police undergo vary from fraud investigation
to advanced patrol training. This training when completed will make the Tamil Nadu Police one
of the most advanced police forces in India. City Police Services on the other hand are known for
their one lesson fits all attitude. The Indian Police Forces have been trying to secure better
training and capabilities for their personnel, but with indifferent success due to a cumbrous
bureaucracy.
