57K newly-trained UP Police constables to join force on April 26

Director General of Police Rajeev Krishna described the induction as a 'transformational moment' for policing in the state, highlighting training to meet cyber threats and community policing.

The Uttar Pradesh Police, already the largest in the country with over 400,000 personnel, includes more than 33 battalions of the Provincial Armed Constabulary and specialised units for intelligence and investigation.

Officials said the current induction is part of a broader expansion plan with recruitment for an additional 32,679 constables already underway, potentially bringing total additions close to 90,000 personnel.

The batch includes over 12,000 women constables, a development expected to strengthen gender-sensitive policing and support women-related desks and services.

Officials said the newly trained constables will begin joining field duties soon after the April 26 parade, increasing police presence across UP’s 68 districts and seven police commissionerates to improve response time and beat policing.

The article reports that nearly 57,000 newly trained constables will join the UP Police after their passing-out parade on April 26, conducted across 112 training centres.

The recruitment process began in June last year when appointment letters were distributed in the presence of Union home minister Amit Shah.
