30 IPS Officers Quit for Pvt Jobs Between '08 & '10
NEW DELHI: Contrary to popular perception that IPS is an elite all-India service, 30 officers of the cadre have left the top policing job for greener pastures in the last three years.
Attractive salaries in private sector and "hardships" in the Indian Police Service are among the reasons for many IPS officers leaving the job mid-career. A total of 12 IPS officers quit in 2008, while the figure stood at 10 in 2009 and eight in 2010.
Several IPS officers said long postings in disturbed areas, hardships faced in the job and better opportunities in the private sector could be reasons for the attrition.
"Service conditions should be improved and made on a par with other all India cadres. IPS officers throughout their career work on the field and they should be compensated, or else the problem of attrition will remain," said an officer.
Though steps are being taken to fill up vacancies in the service, no major action has been taken to check officers from quitting, he claimed.
Given the shortage of IPS officers at the SP-level in many states and taking into account the average attrition rate, the government has increased their annual batch intake size from 130 to 150.
