In 1861, the British Government introduced the Indian Councils Act, 1861. [8] The act created the foundation of a modern and Security
professionalised police bureaucracy in India. It introduced, a new cadre of police, called Superior Police Services, later known as Intelligence
the Indian Imperial Police. [8] The highest rank in the service was the inspector general[8] for each province. The rank of inspector (Internal &
general was equated and ranked with brigadier, [9] and similar ranks in the Indian Armed Forces, as per central warrant of precedence External)

Selection
IPS officers are recruited from Civil Services Examination. They are also promoted from State Police Services and DANIPS. However, at present,
recruitment from Limited Competitive Examination has been put on hold. [13]
Training
The training of IPS officer recruits is conducted at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy in Hyderabad. The authorised cadre
strength of Indian Police Service is 4920. (3270 Direct Recruitment Posts and 1650 Promotional Posts). [16] The Civil List of IPS officers is an
updated (annual) list maintained by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India that lists the posting details of all IPS officers in India.
This Civil List can be accessed from the MHA website. It allows searching for an IPS officer on the basis of his/her name, Batch or Cadre. [17] The peaked cap worn by all

Cadre Allocation Policy
The Union Government announced a new cadre allocation policy for the All India Services in August 2017, touting it as a policy to ensure national integration of the bureaucracy
as officers and ensure AllIndia character of the services. Under the new policy, the existing 26 cadres have been divided into five zones in the new policy by the Department of
Personnel and Training of Government of India. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Police_Service 2/8
10/7/2019 Indian Police Service Wikipedia
Under the new policy, a candidate has to first give his/her choice in the descending order of preference from amongst the various Zones. [24] Subsequently, the candidate has to
indicate one preference of cadre from each preferred zone. [24] The candidate indicates his second cadre preference for every preferred zone subsequently. The process continues till
a preference for all the cadres is indicated by the candidate. [24] The preference for the zones/cadres remains in the same order and no change is permitted. [24]
Officers continue to work in the cadre they are allotted or are deputed to the Government of India. [25]
Zones under the new Cadre Allocation Policy
Zone Cadres
ZoneI AGMUT (Arunachal PradeshGoaMizoram and Union Territories), Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Rajasthan and Haryana.
ZoneII Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha.
ZoneIII Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
ZoneIV West Bengal, Sikkim, AssamMeghalaya, Manipur, Tripura and Nagaland.
ZoneV Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Old Cadre Allocation Policies
Till 2008 there was no system of preference of state cadre by the candidates; the candidates, if not placed in the insider vacancy of their home states, were allotted to different
states in alphabetical order of the roster, beginning with the letters A, H, M, T for that particular year. For example, if in a particular year the roster begins from 'A', which means
the first candidate on the roster will go to the Andhra Pradesh state cadre of IPS, the next one to Bihar, and subsequently to Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and so on in alphabetical
order. [26] The next year the roster starts from 'H', for either Haryana or Himachal Pradesh (if it has started from Haryana on the previous occasion when it all started from 'H',
then this time it would start from Himachal Pradesh). This highly intricate system, in vogue since the mid1980s, had ensured that officers from different states are placed all
over India.
The system of permanent State cadres has also resulted in wide disparities in the kind of professional exposure for officers, when we compare officers in small and big and also
developed and backward states. [26] Changes of state cadre is permitted on grounds of marriage to an All India Service officer of another state cadre or under other exceptional
circumstances. The officer may go to their home state cadre on deputation for a limited period, after which one has to invariably return to the cadre allotted to him or her. [27]
From 2008 to 2017 IPS officers were allotted to State cadres at the beginning of their service. There was one cadre for each Indian state, except for two joint cadres:
Assam–Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh–Goa–Mizoram–Union Territories (AGMUT). [27] The "insideroutsider ratio" (ratio of officers who were posted in their home states) is
maintained as 1:2, with onethird of the direct recruits as 'insiders' from the same state. [28] The rest were posted as outsiders according to the 'roster' in states other than their
home states, [28] as per their preference.

Ranks and insignia
Though the standard uniform colour is Khaki. [33]
The ranks, posts and designations of IPS officers vary from state to state as law and order is a state matter. But generally the following pattern is observed.

¹ Although DIB is a 4 star post and not a rank, it's given to the senior most IPS officer in Intelligence Bureau.
² Rank insignia of DGP is similar to Additional DGP.
Note: Commissioner of Police is a post is held by different rank officers in different places. For example, it is held by DG rank
officer only in Delhi and Mumbai; by Additional DG rank officer in Pune, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Guwahati etc;
by IG rank officer in Gurgaon, Ludhiana, Mysore etc; by DIG rank officer in Trivandrum, Kochi etc.
Reforms and major concerns
India's police continue to be governed by a colonial police law passed in
1861. The Indian Constitution makes policing a state subject and therefore
the state governments have the responsibility to provide their communities
with a police service. However, after independence, most have adopted the
1861 Act without change, while others have passed laws heavily based on the
1861 Act.
Repeated major incidents, (latest of them being 2012 Delhi gang rape)
revealed failure of police to uphold the rule of law. [41][42]
The need for reform of police in India has been long recognised. There has
been almost 30 years of debate and discussion by government created
committees and commissions on the way forward for police reform, but India
remains saddled with an outdated and oldfashioned law, while report after
report gathers dust on government bookshelves without implementation.
Many committees on police reforms have recommended major reforms in the
police system coupled with systematic accountability. [43][44]
Corruption and fake encounters
Recently, several IPS officers were arrested and jailed[45][46] in graft and
corruption cases[47][48][49] In recent years, the Appointments Committee of
the Cabinet has dismissed few IPS officers for non performance. [50]
Some IPS officers have been convicted of fake encounters. [51][52]

National Police Commission (1977–81)
National Police Commission was the first committee set up by the Indian government to report on policing. The National Police Commission began sitting in 1979, in the context
of a postEmergency India, and produced eight reports, including a Model Police Act, between 1979 and 1981. [53]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Police_Service 5/8
10/7/2019 Indian Police Service Wikipedia
Ribeiro Committee (1998–99)
In 1996, two former senior police officers filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court, asking for the Court to direct governments to implement the
recommendations of the National Police Commission. The Supreme Court directed the government to set up a committee to review the Commission's recommendations, and thus
the Ribeiro Committee was formed. The Committee, under the leadership of J. F. Ribeiro, a former chief of police, sat over 1998 and 1999, and produced two reports.[53][54]
Padmanabhaiah Committee (2000)
In 2000, the government set up a third committee on police reform, this time under the stewardship of a former union Home Secretary, K. Padmanabhaiah. This Committee
released its report in the same year.[53][55]
Malimath Committee Report (2003)
The Malimath Committee Report submitted in March 2003 has very articulately laid down the foundation of a restructured and reoriented police system.[56] The Committee in its
report observed that the success of the whole process of Criminal Justice Administration depended completely on the proper functioning of the police organisation especially in
the investigation stage. Apart from the investigation of offences, the police also have the duty of maintaining law and order.
Soli Sorabjee Committee (2005)
In 2005, the government put together a group to draft a new police Act for India. It was headed by Soli Sorabjee (former Attorney General). The committee submitted a Model
Police Act to the union government in late 2006.[53]
Supreme Court intervention (2006)
In 1996, Prakash Singh (a former chief of Assam Police and Uttar Pradesh Police and subsequently Director General of the Border Security Force) initiated a 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. The Supreme Court studied various reports on police reforms. Finally, in 2006, a bench of Justice Y.K. Sabharwal, Justice C.K. Thakker and Justice P.K.
Balasubramanyan[57] ordered the state governments to implement several reforms in police force.[58]
Several measures were identified as necessary to professionalise 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 Director General of the State Police.
There must be separate departments and staff for investigation and patrolling,[59] 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.
Followup from Supreme Court
In 2006, due to a lack of action by all the state governments,[60] the Supreme Court(SC) ordered the state governments to report to it why the reform measures outlined were not
implemented.[61] After being questioned in front of the judges of the Supreme Court, 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. Tamil Nadu Police has been in the forefront of application of the new referendum.[62]
Again, in October 2012, a Supreme Court bench of Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and justices Surinder Singh Nijjar and Jasti Chelameswar asked all state governments and Union
territories to inform about compliance of its September 2006 judgement. The order was passed when Prakash Singh through his lawyer Prashant Bhushan said that many of the
reforms (ordered by the Supreme Court) have yet not been implemented by many state governments.[63]
Women in the Indian Police Service
In 1972 Kiran Bedi became the First Lady Indian Police Service Officer and was the only woman in a batch of 80 IPS Officers, she joined the AGMUT Cadre.
In 1992 Asha Sinha a 1982 Batch IPS Officer became the First Woman Commandant in the Paramilitary forces of India when she was posted as Commandant, Central
Industrial Security Force in Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited.
Kanchan Chaudhary Bhattacharya, the second Lady IPS Officer of India belonging to the 1973 Batch became the first Lady Director General of Police of a State in India when
she was appointed DGP of Uttarakhand Police.
In 2018, an IPS Officer Archana Ramasundram of 1980 Batch became the first woman to become the director general of police of a Central Armed Police Force as DG,
Sashastra Seema Bal.[64]
