## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI HANSRAJ GANGARAM AHIR)

(a): As per data compiled by the Bureau of Police Research & Development (BPR&D), as on 1.1.2017, against total sanctioned strength of 19,89,295   Police   personnel   in   all   the   States  and  Union  Territories, 15,45,771  personnel  were  in  position  leading  to  a  shortfall  of  4,43,524 personnel.

## L.S.US.Q.NO.2518 FOR 02.01.2018

(b): The details of the sanctioned and existing strength, vacant posts and requirement of State police personnel including IPS Officers in the country, rank and State-wise is annexed.

(c) to (f): Recruitment  is  continuous  process.  So  far  as  the  shortage  of police personnel is concerned, the vacancies in the service are caused due to factors such as retirement, resignation, death, removal from service etc. All these factors are recurring in nature. The training of police personnel is an  ongoing  process  by  the  Government  to  handle  specific  requirements. Various sensitization programmes and refresher courses including training to  handle  cyber  crimes,  are  regularly  organized  by  the  Government agencies.

As  per  rule  4(2)  of  IPS  Cadre  Rules,  1954,  the  central  Government, ordinarily  at  the  interval  of  every  five  years,  reviews  the  strength  and composition of each such cadre in consultation with the State Governments concerned and revises the authorized strength of the IPS for each Cadre. In order to mitigate the shortage in Indian Police Service, the Limited Competitive Examination(LCE) was introduced as a third mode of recruitment of IPS officers in the year 2009.

Further, as 'Police' is a State subject, under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India, it is primarily the responsibility of the State Governments to conduct special recruitment drives to fill the vacant posts. The  Centre  advices  the  States  from  time  to  time  to  bring  the  requisite reforms in Police administration.
