SRINAGAR: The Central government on Friday approved the appointment of 28 officers of the Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Police to the prestigious Indian Police Service (IPS) and allocated them to the Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram and Union Territory (AGMUT) cadre.

The newly inducted officers will remain on probation for one year and undergo induction training as per the Indian Police Service (Probation) Rules, 1954.

With this inductions, 39 vacancies of JKPS officers for induction into IPS have been filled up. However, five vacancies remain as two JKPS officers inducted into IPS have retired and two others have opted out.
The inductions come exactly two years after the UPSC approved the induction of 14 serving and 12 retired officers into the IPS in July 2021. The posts of retired officers were later treated as vacant and added to the total vacancies.
Sources told The New Indian that the inductions will also overcome the shortage of police officers in the rank of Deputy Inspector General (DIG) in J&K, as the newly inducted officers will become eligible for posting as DIGs. Presently, only direct recruit IPS officers are holding posts of DIGs.
