Indian Police Services : IPS
Are you a civil service aspirant ? Do you think that this time you will successfully mark your name in the merit list of civil services examination ? Are you confused which service should you opt for ? Are you not able to fill the DAF? If answer to above question is YES, then you are at the right place. Today we are going to discuss about various services comes under Civil Service Examination. IPS or Indian Police Service is also an all India Service which comes with a lots of prestige and honour. In a layman term, an IPS Officer serves the country by keeping the law and order in absolute state. He has to be a vigilant officer all the time while keeping the administration of police department in one hand and maintaining law and order in the other.
Indian Police Service (IPS) is considered to be one of the prestige service comes after IAS. Usually, when people fill the DAF, they put IAS as first choice and then, IPS as second and so on. So, in terms of responsibility, It is although more responsible post in Indian Civil Service.
After selection in the Civil Service Examination, candidates will be provided a foundation course at LBSNAA at Mussorrie (Dehra Dun) for 3 months, then they will be shifted to Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel National Police Academy (SVPNPA) in Hyderabad where they will undergo various phases of training module. During the probation period you will undergo a year's on the job training in the office of a Superintendent of Police of a district in the State. On completing your two year probation, you will be confirmed as a three star Assistant Superintendent of Police (A.S.P.) / Assistant Commission of Police (ACP) which depends primarily on states cadre unit. You will then in all probability be posted as the Police Officer of a sub-division (SDPO) for two years till you are promoted to the Senior Scale.
Posting of IPS Officers:
As the SDPO, Superintendent of Police (SP), Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of a District and as Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of a Range (Group of districts), you will be exclusively responsible for the prevention and detection of crime. The criteria for this type of hierarchy is setup so that when you are promoted to senior level, you will have enough experience of dealing various tasks in hand. You will also be assisted by IAS Officers at various levels. It is although more coordinated job where you will work in association with IAS officers. A District Magistrate (DM) is directly linked with Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) for maintaining the law and order in the district.
In cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore, the law and order duties are the exclusive responsibility of the police force. In these cities the ASP, SP, and the DIG are called Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) and Commissioner of Police (CP).
Promotion of IPS Officers :
On being promoted to the Senior Scale you could serve as ASP of a larger district for the first two years or SP of a small district. You are likely to spend about thirteen years covering the Senior Scale, Junior Administrative Grade and Selection Grade as SP / SSP of a district, SP (Crime), SP (CID), S.P. (Home Guards), the head of some police battalion, S.P. (Traffic) and so on. Outside the districts, the most satisfying jobs are in the intelligence agencies of the Government of India specially in the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). So if you want to work with CBI or IB, then IPS Officers have vast choice of career ahead. They can be deputed either to CBI or Intelligence Bureau under Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
Some of these are the Cabinet Secretariat, the Border Security Force, the Central Reserve Police Force and the Central Industrial Security Force. Unlike I.A.S. Officers who cannot permanently serve the central government, some IPS dominated central agencies absorb the IPS Officers till they retire. The senior posts in the IPS are those of the Deputy Inspector General, Inspector General, Additional D.G. and Director General. These days many states have more than one IG and DG. However, there is only one Director General of Police (DGP), who heads the police force of the State.
I have tried to conceptualized the complete information regarding the life of an IPS Officers both in Rural areas as well as in Urban areas. Those who are looking to serve the country with all capacity, it is one of the best jobs after IAS. Many people can touched with this job profile as well like as IAS. You can make people believe that Police Force are there for their benefit. So that the fear which they possess can be evaporated.
