The Ministry of Home Affairs has started the process to select two IPS officers for postings at the United Nations Office to the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This comes after a request from India’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations. The officers will be placed in advisory roles under the UN peacekeeping system.
There are two posts. One is Police Planning Adviser. The other is Police Reform Adviser. Both are at the P-4 level.
Officers of SP and DIG rank can apply.
The MHA has written to central and state authorities to send names. Letters have been sent to Secretaries, Chief Secretaries, Directors General of Police and heads of central police forces and training institutes. Agencies like IB, CBI and CAPFs have also been asked to send nominations.
The last date to apply is May 8, 2026.
