Indian Police Service (IPS) officer’s first and foremost duty is to maintain Law and order in the nation. Until and unless there is internal peace and discipline in the country it’s really difficult to carry out the administrative and other welfare programs. IPS is the prime uniformed civil service.
An IPS officer works for the dual government, which means, for both central and state governments. Ranging from Assistant Superintendent of Police at the beginning of his career to the Director-General of Police at the stage of his retirement, he serves the State Government in various capacities. He is also eligible to serve the Central Government in various sectors like the Central Reserve Police Force, Border Security Force, Central Bureau of Investigation, Intelligence Bureau, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), etc.

With the longest training period in all the cadres of the UPSC, the training for IPS may even extend to almost 2 years of training. Generally, the 1st half of the training is done with the other services candidates at Mussoorie, and then from there, they are sent to Bharat Darshan in groups. The second part of the training is done in two phases. It is done in the National Police Academy in Hyderabad. The IPS officers also have to do a certain amount of training in a district of their cadre in between the 2 phases of training at the IPS academy.
