Three-quarters of Rajasthan police chief inspectors have called for deputation to the Joint Director of Administration, but officers with pending inquiries or cases will be barred from the move.
Three‑quarters of chief inspectors in Rajasthan’s police force have formally requested deputation to the Joint Director of Administration (JDA), according to a report from Bhaskar English. The move is seen as a career advancement that would place the officers in a senior administrative role within the state’s law‑and‑order machinery.
The deputation request, submitted by a group of 75% of the CIs, comes amid a broader push for better career progression pathways for police personnel. The officers argue that the JDA post would allow them to contribute more effectively to policy formulation and oversight.
However, the proposal includes a caveat: any officer currently under investigation or facing an active case will not be eligible for deputation. The restriction is intended to ensure that those with unresolved legal or disciplinary matters are not placed in positions of higher responsibility.
The demand has sparked debate among senior police officials and political leaders, who are weighing the benefits of the deputation against the need for accountability and integrity within the force.
