The IPS is not a law enforcement agency in its own right; rather it is the body to which all senior police officers belong regardless of the agency for whom they work.

History Much before the Indepe ndence, superior police officers belonging belonging to the Imperial Police (IP) were appointed by the Secretary of State on the basis of  competitive competitive examination. The very first open civil service examination for the service was held in England in June, 1893 and the top ten candidates  were a ppointed as probationers probationers of the I ndian (Imperial) Police. However, it is not possible possible to pinpoint a date on which it could positively positively be claimed that the Indian Police came into being. In around 1907, the Secretary of State’s officers officers were dire cted to wear the letters "IP" on their e paulettes to distinguish distinguish them from the other officers not recruited by the Secretary of State. In this sense, 1907 could be regarded as the starting point for the Indian Police. [1] R e fo f o r m s o r d e r e d b y t h e S u p r e m e C o u r t ( 1 9 9 6 -2 -2 0 0 6 ) Prakash Singh, one of the f ormer Director Generals of Police of the states of Assam Assam and subsequently Uttar Pradesh and finally Director General of  the Border Se curity Force, initiated a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Suprem e Court of India, asking the court to investigate measures to reform the police forces across across India to ensure the p roper rule of law and improve security across across India. [6] Indian Police Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Police_Service Several measures were i dentified as necessary to professionalize 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 Chief  Commissioner.  There must be separate d epartments and staff for investigation and patrolling.  Three new a uthorities will be created in e ach state, to prevent political interference in the police and also to make the police accountable for their heavy-handedness[7], 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. Delhi Police Highway Patrol near Gurgaon. In 2006, due to a lack of action by all the state governments in India, the supreme court ordered the state governments to report to it why the reform measures outlined were not implemented. [8] After being questioned in front of the judges of the Supreme Court of India, the state governments are finally starting to reform the police forces and give them the operational independence they ne ed for fearless and proper law enforcement. [9] Examination and training  To serve in the I PS one has to pass the Civil Services Examination or be ele vated from the state cadre, which i s conducted by the U nion Public Service Commission, every year. This examination is a common examination conducted for selection to the other one of the other All I ndia Services, as well as various other Group A and Group B services under the Ce ntral Government. [10]  Taking the Civil Ser vices Examination, a three-stage competitive selection process consisting of a preliminary exam, a main exam, and an i nterview is the only way to get in to IPS as with many other civil service bodies. This Civil Services Examination is administered by the Union Public Se rvice Commission once a year. At stage one, there is an objective type examination called the Preliminary examination. This is a qualifying examination and only the candidates who clear this can appear for the next stage called the Main e xamination. In the Main examination each candidate has to select two optional subjects, apart from which all candidates have to take a General S tudies, Essay and compulsory language paper and English paper. Pre liminary examination consists of  General Studies & Optional 1. On clearing this candidate would be allowed to write mains, w hich consists of nine papers. National Police Memorial New Delhi After being selected for the I PS, candidates are allocated to their Cadres. There is one cadre in each Indian state, except for three joint cadres: Assam-Meghalaya, Manipur-Tripura, and Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram-Union Territories (AGMUT). Each state and union territory of I ndia has a state police force, headed by t he Commissioner of Police (State) or Director General of Police (DGP). It is controlled by the Chief Minister and Home Minister of the state/union territory. The state police is responsible for maintaining law and order in townships of the state and the rural are as. States such as Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra have taken steps to get their police force trained by advanced police t raining schools notably the Atlanta City Police of the USA. The Tamil Nadu state police is at the forefront of advancement with the  Tamil Nadu Police Academy, which now seeks university status. The advanced training that the Tamil Nadu Police undergo vary from f raud investigation to advanced patrol training. This training whe n completed will make the Tamil Nadu Police one of the most advanced police forces in India. City Police Services on the other hand are known for their one le sson fits all attitude. The I ndian Police Forces have been trying to secure better training and capabilities for their p ersonnel, but with indifferen t success due to a cumbrous buraeucracy.
