The guidelines for appointing a State Director General of Police (DGP) as per the amended Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) guidelines are as follows:
  • The appointed State DGP must have a minimum of six months remaining until retirement.
  • If the appointment is on deputation, the consent of the Central government is required.
  • This amendment aims to ensure that DGPs have a reasonable tenure to effectively implement law and order measures in the state without facing premature transfer.
  • The provision helps in promoting stability in police administration, allowing DGPs to pursue long-term strategies in tackling crime and maintaining public safety.
  • The revised guidelines also reinforce the importance of seeking the consent of the Central government in cases of deputation, ensuring proper coordination and cooperation between the state and central law enforcement agencies.
  • These regulations serve to strengthen the functioning and stability of police services, promoting professionalism and ensuring that experienced and committed officers lead the police force.
It is important to note that these guidelines are subject to change as per the discretion of the government and UPSC regulations.
