Not just the CAPFs, but all the central agencies need a systemic rehaul to get rid of the cancer that is the deputation policy. By turning specialized agencies into revolving doors, national security interests are being sacrificed at the altar of the career interests of a few. In general, the IPS provides an exceptionally talented and agile pool of officers that is unmatched. However, they need to be absorbed into the organisations at mid-junior levels, make their way up and eventually retire from the same organisation after spending 15-20 years atleast (e.g., hard-core/permanently seconded officers in the IB/R&AW)
It is not jolt to IPS but it was unfair to the CAPF officers.These forces are not meant for deputations but have core functions which are integral to national security.
