Karnataka Police Complaints Authority member proposes seniority badges for police personnel
If implemented, Karnataka could become the first State in the country to introduce a structured system of seniority-based designations and uniform insignia for police personnel
A Karnataka State Police Complaints Authority member has proposed introducing seniority badges for police personnel to recognize their years of service, irrespective of promotions. The proposal, submitted to Home Minister Priyank Kharge, suggests three categories - 'Senior' after five years, 'Super Senior' after 10 years, and 'Most Senior' after 15 years - with corresponding insignia displayed on the right side of the chest above the nameplate.
The aim is to acknowledge the experience of officers, boost morale, and ensure they receive due respect within the department and society. If implemented, Karnataka could become the first state in the country to adopt such a structured system for police personnel.
