Awarded to those
in the organized police, Central Intelligence Bureau
who have performed acts of conspicuous devotion to duty.
No state has any specific quota for awarding of President's
Police Medals. In normal circumstance not more than
30 PPM's are awarded in any single year.
ELIGIBILITY:
- The Annual Confidential Report (ACR) grading is
the main determining factor for awarding an IPM.
A grading of 8 very good for the past 10 years of
service including 2 Outstanding is considered very
good.
- Besides ACR grading, clearances from the IB (conducts
field enquiries) and CBI (conduct regular checks)
are very essential.
- A gap of 6 years should be available between the
award of IPM and consideration for PPM, in the case
of any recommended officers.
- Seniority is also considered though it is superseded
by the above two. If the competition is between
two officers of the same seniority then the officer
with better ACR grading will carry the grace of
the day.
- The revised proforma for medals requires concise
account of the career highlights of the officer.
It would be preferable to have instances of good
work done rather than a verbatim account of his
postings and transfers.
- The officer should have put in a minimum of 21
years of service in the police department.
