The moment we think about an Indian police Department, the very name of Indian police service (IPS) will come in to our mind, what to do to become an IPS? Any graduate with proper physical fitness has to appear civil services conducted by union public service commission (UPSC). The civil services Examinations are conducted in 3 stages.

Preliminary examinations (two papers General Studies and Civil Service Aptitude Test)and 2) a set of main examinations. The candidates who have cleared preliminary Examinations will be sent to Main Examinations. After clearing Main Examinations they have to face the interview. This is the time after fulfilling the norms will be sent to Indian police services.

Supposing if you think, if any other courses available to study exclusively to join in the police department, the response is pessimistic.

But there are few courses in this line of thinking they are Criminology and Police Administration.

The various branches of criminology are survilience and safely managements, prison Administrator, cyber crimes, controlling mobs and trouble management, and private detective and enquiries.
