Centre favours UP police recruitment policy for states

              They may be at loggerheads over various reasons, but when it comes to police recruitment the Centre vows by the policy of the Uttar Pradesh government.

        This was disclosed at the meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs, where the Centre has strongly recommended the UP model for police recruitment for the states to follow.

          The UP model is technologically driven and does away with the discretionary powers in recruitment of police personnel, the Parliamentary panel was told today when it deliberated on the National Police Mission.

                 The UP Police also follows a rating system to evaluate aspirant policemen, which found favour with the Centre.

                   The recruitment policy was drafted by an IPS officer of the UP cadre under the National Police Mission as part of efforts to bring transparency to the process.
