51 ASPs to be recruited
View(s):By Ishu Bandara
Fifty-one Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASPs) are to be recruited to the Police through an open examination conducted by the Examination Department.
These appointments are expected to take place shortly, Public Security Minister Ananda Wijepala told the Sunday Times.
He said the interviews began on February 5 and are scheduled to conclude next Wednesday.
A total of 255 candidates were called for interviews based on the results issued by the Examination Department, he said.
“According to the recruitment process rules, the number of candidates invited for interviews must be five times the number of vacancies. We are conducting these interviews in a very transparent and fair manner,” the Minister said.
Mr. Wijepala said that according to the Inspector General of
Police the ongoing ASP interviews have the highest number of lawyers participating.
As the police already have a significant number of lawyers, including those currently practising and those studying to become lawyers, Minister Wijepala mentioned that there are plans to utilise their support in the
future for representing the
police in court cases.
“Currently, in most magistrate courts, only the police sergeant appears on behalf of the police. Instead of this, I proposed the idea of appointing lawyers who are already serving in the police,” Mr. Wijepala told The Sunday Times.
He emphasised that this is only
a suggestion at this stage, and if implemented, the necessary position adjustments would
be made accordingly.
