• The other two All India Services comparable to Indian Police Service are Indian Administrative Service and the Indian Foreign Service, and not the Indian Forest Service. Indian Forest Service is an all India service, but not comparable to the three major services indicated above. Accordingly, I will update the inforamtion.--Bhadani 15:25, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

All India Services are due to their creation under All India Services Act, not due to their comparability. Indian Forign Service is class one service. May be it is superior to all other services. If you update as you suggest it will be legally wrong.burdak 17:31, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I got the point. --Bhadani 14:03, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

THis is kind of confusing. All India Services says there are three All India Services, Foreign, Police and Administrative. This page seems to contradict that. It would be nice if someone more knowledgeable would fix these two so they don't contradict each other.

[edit] NPOV

This article needs to be NPOV'd. Talking about a glorious vision and hardly in consonance with democratic principles constitutes POV terminology. I will rewrite some sections if no one objects. Walton monarchist89 17:42, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV Slabs

The following sections were removed from the main page because they are far more POV and polemic than informative. I'm inclined to wonder if they were lifted from an editorial page. I'm sure this can be rewritten by someone knowledgeable about the matter while maintaining an encyclopedic tone, but until then this needs to stay on the Talk page.

The Crisis in Indian Police

The India Police can be genuinely proud of a number of achievements since its inception. However it is far from being anywhere near fulfilling the aspirations and needs of the citizens in a democracy. While no Policing system can claim to be have a high " Customer Satisfaction Index", the tragedy with Indian Police and the IPS is that most of what stands in between its current status and its aspired goals in man-made.

What Ails the IPS

1. The top leadership is woefully subservient to the Political bosses. [Barring a few honourable exceptions]It refuses to asserts when necessary and finds it expedient to go along with the tide.

2. Many officers are also in awe of its sister service the IAS and allows it to be virtually subjugated by it,from the district level right upto the level of Union Home Secretary.The result being that rank generalists find precedence over capable IPS officers even in the most crucial and important issues of Law and Order and Internal Security.

3. The service does not have a vision spelled out for itself. As a service it does not have a foresight about its role and functioning in the increasingly changing world.

4. Most of the officers of the IPS spent their time in Supervisory Roles. They are content with fault finding with lower levels and "inspecting" their work. They do not try to put in place sysytems or reforms which would help improve the organisational functioning. As a result the organisation stagnates.

5. There is also a selfish interest of the ruling political classes in perpetuating this scheme of things. Every ruling party wants to keep the Police as their agents to further their purpose.

While the situatiuon is indeed depressing, there are leading light in the service. One such person is Prakash Singh , Ex-DGP of BSF,UP and Assam. He has been n the forefront of the campaign to reform the Police. He has achieved a historic victory of sorts when the Supreme Court of India gave its historic judgement on Police Reforms in September 2006 directing the state governments to implement the reform process.

However "the powers that be" meaning IAS lobby and Politicians won't give up so easily. One can only hope for the best while keeping the fingers crossed.
