To overcome shortage of policemen, the Haryana government has decided to recruit 2,000 special police officers, and ex-servicemen from the army and Central Armed Police Forces will be given priority, the cabinet decided on Thursday. Ex-constables of the Haryana Armed Police and now disbanded Haryana State Industrial Security Force will also be given preference, the government said after the meeting chaired by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.
Currently, 11,664 posts of constables are lying vacant in the police department. Hence, the recruitment of these SPOs will play a pivotal role in strengthening the state police force, an official statement said.
The SPOs will be employed for a year or up to the date of appointment of people on regular basis, whichever is earlier, it said.
Their minimum educational qualification would be 10+2.
