Rajasthan Police requests to augment IPS cadre

In response to the Rajasthan Government decision to create 19 new districts, the rajasthan Police is actively pursuing an increase in the number of Indian Police Service (IPS) officers in the state. A request to the Government to augment the cadre has already been made. The Rajasthan state has 33 districts and a total of 35 Superintendents of Police (SPs) are posted. This includes rural districts of Kota, Jaipur and Jodhpur. The number of Deputy Commissioners is 11; 8 in Jaipur and 3 in Jodhpur. The Government has announced creation of 19 new revenue districts though it has not been notified in the gazette. Once the notification is confirmed, more changes are anticipated in the Police administration. The Rajasthan is envisioning Commissionerate system  in more major cities of the state, which would further require more IPS officers.
