About Police Department
“The Indian Police Service, simply known as Indian Police or IPS, is one of the
three All India Services of the Government of India. 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; rather it is a civil service in which officers
are selected on the basis of professional merit as proven by competitive examinations,
and to which all police officers are professionally identified. Police officers
are employed by the police departments of respective states of India.”
