Srinagar, Oct 11: The Jammu and Kashmir administration led by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Friday introduced new guidelines for the recruitment of police officers under the Jammu and Kashmir Police (Gazetted) Service Recruitment Rules, 2024.
The updated regulations were outlined in a government notification (SO 500), officially bringing the new rules into effect.
The recruitment process has been streamlined under the directive of the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, leveraging powers conferred by the Constitution of India. The fresh guidelines aim to regulate the recruitment and promotion of officers across various cadres within the Jammu and Kashmir Police Gazetted Service.
According to the new rules, recruitment will be conducted through both direct appointments and promotions. Direct recruitment will be managed by the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC), while promotions will be overseen by the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC).
The newly classified cadres under the service include General, Telecommunication, Ministerial, Stenography, Photography, Police Transport Workshop, and Arms/Ammunition. Two selection committees, led by senior officials such as the Chief Secretary and the Director General of Police, have been established to supervise promotions and placements within the department.
These reforms replace the Jammu and Kashmir Police (Gazetted) Service Recruitment Rules of 2002, offering a more structured and transparent process to strengthen the region’s police force. The new rules are now officially in force and will be implemented as per the government’s notification.
