Under the Constitution, as well as the Police Act of 1861, police is a state subject. However, as should be obvious, police reforms aren’t only about the IPS or gazetted officers under State Police Services. That’s around 1 percent of the total police strength. About 88 percent is constabulary and another 11 percent is what is called upper subordinates (inspectors, SIs, ASIs). While there are some state-level variations, constables are generally recruited through boards, and SIs/ASIs through the SPSCs. These are the equivalents of the village police in early British Days. Colonial police commission reports (such as of 1902-03) weren’t that concerned with recruitment to these, since these post (that is, their equivalents) were hereditary. They were more concerned with what we should today call gazetted appointments. Plenty has been written about police reforms in India, especially after the Prakash Singh Case of 1996. Rather oddly, this discourse and Central (Model Act) and state-level legislation (proposed and actual) have little on appointments to upper subordinates and constabulary. There is stuff on senior level appointments and transfers/postings at all levels. There are recommendations on providing incentives and training for upper subordinates and constabulary whether it is the recruitment of upper subordinates (SPSCs) or constabulary (boards), the principles are similar. Minimum educational and physical qualification are prescribed; these vary between states, especially for the educational part. For specific categories, deviations are permitted from the minimum. Physical examinations are followed by written tests and interviews. Stated thus, it is no different from any entry-level requirement any where. There are ways to reduce corruption in each of the three stages – physical, written, interview. There is scope to place information in the public domain and allow external scrutiny, and to reduce the powers of SPSCs and recruitment boards.
The 2006 Model Police Act didn’t probe this enough because that was supposed to be done through government rules. All it said was, “The direct recruitment to non-gazetted ranks in the police service shall be made through a State-Level Police Recruitment Boards by a transparent process, adopting well-codified and scientific systems and procedures which shall be notified through appropriate rules framed by the State Government.”
We do need a Police Recruitment Board. But through rules, we also need its powers to be curbed. That’s the transparency part.
