MPESB Police SI Recruitment 2026 — 507 Vacancies

MPESB Police SI Recruitment 2026: Overview

Madhya Pradesh Employee Selection Board (MPESB) is conducting a combined recruitment for Subedar and Sub-Inspector roles in the Madhya Pradesh Police. The notice brings operational police posts together with specialist streams covering arms, photography and forensic support. Your academic background should guide the post you choose because the day-to-day work differs sharply across these streams.

The largest operational stream is the District Executive Force, while the Special Armed Force and Subedar cadres focus on unit command, discipline and deployment. Technical candidates can also compete for narrowly defined police-support roles. Posting will be within Madhya Pradesh and the work may involve field duty, irregular hours and disciplined service conditions.

Posts and Disciplines

• Subedar: a supervisory uniformed role supporting unit administration, discipline, deployment and reporting.
• Sub-Inspector, Special Armed Force: an operational role in armed police units that may handle security deployment, reserve duties and public-order support.
• Sub-Inspector, District Executive Force: a district policing role linked to station work, investigation, patrol and local law enforcement.
• Sub-Inspector, Arms: a technical stream dealing with police weapons, mechanical inspection, safe custody and serviceability records.
• Sub-Inspector, Photo: a specialist stream supporting official and evidentiary photography for police work.
• Sub-Inspector, Questioned Document: a forensic support role involving the examination and documentation of disputed writing, printing and records.
• Sub-Inspector, Finger Print: a forensic stream focused on developing, comparing and recording fingerprint evidence.

Post-wise Duties

Subedar

You will help supervise personnel, discipline and unit readiness, maintain operational records and pass instructions between senior officers and the force. The role also involves coordinating parades, deployments and routine administrative work.

Sub-Inspector, Special Armed Force

You will lead teams during armed reserve and security duties, check equipment readiness and maintain discipline during deployment. You may work in shifts or move with the unit when operational needs change.

Sub-Inspector, District Executive Force

You will handle station-level policing, including complaint recording, preliminary inquiry, investigation support, patrol planning and coordination with local communities. Field visits and case documentation form a regular part of this role.

Sub-Inspector, Arms

You will oversee the inspection, safe handling and records of arms, identify mechanical issues and coordinate authorized maintenance. Accurate inventory and safety compliance are central to this technical assignment.

Sub-Inspector, Photo

You will create and preserve official photographic records from scenes, objects and police proceedings. Your work must follow evidence-handling instructions so images remain clear, traceable and useful.

Sub-Inspector, Questioned Document

You will support the examination of disputed documents, record visible features and prepare material for forensic comparison. Careful handling and a reliable chain of custody are important throughout the work.

Sub-Inspector, Finger Print

You will develop, classify and compare fingerprint evidence, keep examination records and assist investigating units with technical findings. The work calls for patience, accuracy and controlled evidence handling.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Cadre choice: Select the post that matches your qualification and preferred work stream; a general police post and a forensic post are not interchangeable roles.
• Physical readiness: Operational police service involves running, jumping, strength and sustained field duty. You should assess your readiness before choosing a uniformed post.
• State posting: Selected candidates can be assigned within Madhya Pradesh according to police requirements rather than personal district preference.
• Forensic integrity: Photo, questioned-document and fingerprint staff must preserve evidence carefully and maintain accurate technical records.

• Handle complaints, inquiries and investigation records in operational posts
• Maintain discipline, deployment notes and official police documentation
• Inspect arms, equipment or specialist evidence according to the allotted stream
• Collect and preserve photographic, document or fingerprint evidence where assigned
• Coordinate patrol, security and public-order duties with senior officers
• Prepare accurate reports and keep a clear chain of custody for case material
