The 2024 Himachal police recruitment introduces a specialised commando force to fight drug abuse. Special incentives are offered for candidates with qualifications like NCC training (with four extra marks) and specific height criteria. Additionally, a 100-metre sprint has been added to the physical test requirements for HP Police Constable posts and candidates must now undergo a dope test to confirm they are drug-free.
The Himachal Pradesh Police Constable recruitment exam will be conducted by the Public Service Commission, with physical tests managed by the police department. To ensure the integrity of this anti-drug force, a character certificate verification will also be conducted for all successful applicants.
