Indian Police Service

The First Police Commission, was appointed on 17 August 1865.

The Indian Police Service, simply known as Indian Police or IPS, is one of the three All India Services of the Government of India. In 1948, a year after India gained independence from Britain, the Imperial Police (IP) was replaced by the Indian Police Service. Very innovately, a magazine called The Hyderabad Protector, was launched on January 2011, by the IPS officials of Hyderabad - the only magazine that is officially associated with the Hyderabad City Police.

To serve in the IPS one has to be elevated from the state cadre or pass the Civil Services Examination conducted by Union Public Service Commission every year which is a common examination for selection to All India Services.

Civil Services Examination has a three stage competitive selection process. At stage one, there is an objective type examination called the preliminary exam. This is a qualifying examination. Only the candidates who clear this, can appear for the next stage called the Main examination which consists of nine papers.

Bangalore City Police is divided into five zones — North, East, West, South and Central.

The current Police Commissioner of Bangalore is Shankar.M.Bidari, IPS.
