Constables who have been in service for more than 15 years now have the opportunity to become sub-inspectors. The state government has decided to permit police constables of the state police force to appear in the special competitive exam for the post of PSI.
Till now only assistant police sub-inspectors and head constables, having spent three years in service, were able to take the special competitive exam for the promotion to the post of police sub-inspector. But henceforth even a constable, who is on the lowest rung in the police force, would be able to take the exam and directly become PSI, provided they have spent 15 years in service.
Gujarat is first state in the country to introduce such a provision. “Even if a constable does not succeed in the exam, the knowledge he get while preparation will help him in performing his duties in better ways,” said cabinet spokesperson and state health minister Jay Narayan Vyas.
