Hi,
The India Police Service is a branch of the Ministry of Home Affairs, established in its modern format in 1949.
If I understand the Indian police system correctly, each state has a police force that is staffed (at least at the upper levels) by members of the Indian Police Service, which is an all-India service like the Indian Administrative Service, Indian Forest Service, Indian Foreign Service, Indian Railroads Service, etc., all of which are components of the Civil Service of India. The IPS is not a force itself but a service providing personnel to staff the state and all-India forces. So a police officer who is a native of Gujarat, serving for the time being with the Punjab Police, and on his next assignment being promoted and sent to Tamil Nadu. The same system applies to administrative, forest, etc., officers, who rotate among state and union assignments.
