Law Enforcement and Police Jobs in India

Men in `khakis’, as they are popularly known as, have always been in the forefront in tackling criminal activities in the country. Though, time and again, the police department has been charged with allegations of corruption within and unholy nexus with the criminals, law enforcement and police jobs in India offer excellent career opportunities.

The Union Government controls the recruitment as an Indian Police Service (IPS) cadre, whereas the provincial and state governments have the authority of recruiting personnel in the police and law and order service.

Career Scopes
A career in police force is not for everyone. It requires discipline, mental toughness, physical

fitness and a profession that is throws new challenges every now and then. The gentlemen clad in khakis do not earn respect in the society for nothing.

Indian Police Service (IPS)
The IPS is the premier police service of the nation. Each year, the Union Government recruits IPS officers through the Civil Services examination. A prospective candidate has to clear three rounds:

Preliminary Examination
Main Examination
Personal Interview

Eligibility
A graduate from any discipline is eligible to appear for the examination. Candidates for the IPS are chosen on the basis of the candidate’s choice and his ranking on the merit list.

After putting in a few years of service, IPS officers may get promoted to the levels of Director General of Police in a State or can be appointed DG of any other central paramilitary force.

State Police Service
Recruitment under this service is done through the State Public Service Commissions. This is subordinate to the IPS. Officers in SPS are entitled to salary hike and promotion after specific years of service.
