BANGALORE: 14 years ago, the home department decided to recruit 40 detective sub inspectors (DSI) and 55 detective inspectors (DI) to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to make it a professional detective agency. But only 12 DSIs have been recruited since 12 years and they are now the 'unwanted babies' of the Home Department.
The Director General of Police (DGP) of CID in his letter to the DG IGP of the state in January this year mentioned that DSIs/Inspectors, if continued in the CID forever, would not get opportunity to know problems occuring at police station levels and suggested to the government to cancel such posts and consider involving the detective staff with the civil police cadre.Eleven DIs out of 12 such officers have written a letter to the home department to involve them in the civil police force as regular police, though they are more qualified than others.

It is evident that many officers from the rank of SIs to DySPs are from the civil police force to executive posts are being transferred for months together and again to executive posts as they consider posting in CID is not "worthy".

Considering this, the CID top brass in 1994 decided to fill the CID (it was Corps of DetectivesCoD earlier and now renamed as CID) with DSIs and Inspectors to deal with sensational and government referred cases as the 'come and go policy' of civil police hamper the investigations.

In a letter to the home department, they referred to the procedures being followed by other states as there is an opportunity to an officer to work in all sections of the police department and urged to involve them.
