SHO In Delhi Police: Delhi Police is going to introduce a merit-based exam for the appointment of Station House Officer (SHO) for the first time in a historic and unprecedented move. Till now SHOs were appointed on the basis of seniority and experience, but this new system aims to increase transparency and efficiency in the selection process.
When will the exam be held for SHO
As part of this initiative, Delhi Police is conducting an exam specifically for cyber police stations, which have been at the forefront of tackling digital crimes in the capital. A total of 122 police inspectors have applied for just 15 available cyber SHO posts, making it a highly competitive process. The exam is scheduled to be held on March 18 at the Delhi Police Academy in Wazirabad. With the rise in cyber threats, Delhi Police is looking for the best officers to lead its fight against digital crime. The officers selected through this exam will be entrusted with the management of cyber crime investigation, digital forensics and cyber security enforcement. An inspector from West Delhi said that this exam is going to be tough. Only 15 will be successful in it.
SHO Exam Syllabus
In this exam, candidates will be tested on a comprehensive syllabus, which includes important laws and policing acts, including – Indian Justice Code (BNS), Indian Civil Defense Code (BNSS), Indian Evidence Act (BSA), Cyber crime and IT skills, NDPS Act, POCSO Act, JJ Act, Arms Act, Delhi Police Act, Delhi Excise Act, Companies Act, etc.
Multiple choice questions will be asked
A combination of multiple choice and descriptive questions will challenge candidates on legal knowledge, investigation skills and decision making. The move is being seen as a game-changer for the Delhi Police. Senior officers believe that this merit-based system will ensure that only the most qualified officers are given leadership roles.
