Sl. No. 13
In continuation of the Establishment Division O.M.

ASP, SP, DIG, Addl.I.G, I.G, etc. specified in the schedule (Annexure) of the cadre strength of the former PSP (now called All-Pakistan Unified Grades) as may be revised from time to time.
2. The Police Group will be under the administrative control of the Establishment Division and will function within the following framework of rules and procedure.
3. Grade 17.- Recruitment to the posts in Grade 17 (Assistant Superintendents of Police) will continue to be made through the FPSC as hitherto. On selection by the FPSC the probationers will be given integrated training at the Academy for Administrative Training, Lahore. Those allocated to the Police Group will be posted to the Provinces and given further specialized training at the Police Training College, Sihala.
*Nomenclature changed vide Estt. Division Notification No. S.R.O. 1033(I)/85 dated 23-10-1985.
4. Grade 18 and above.- Officiating appointments to Grade 18 were hitherto made by the Provincial Governments. As already decided in the case of the District Management Group, all appointments to Grade 18 will henceforth be made by the Federal Government.
5. Appointments to posts in Grade 18 will be made by promotion of officers of Grade 17 of the Police Group and also of Grade 17 officers of the Provincial Police of the rank of DSP of requisite service and experience who are recommended by the Provincial Governments. Selection for appointment to posts in Grade 18 and above will be made on the recommendations of the Central Selection Board.
6. Secretariat Posts.- The officers of the Police Group will be eligible for appointment to the Secretariat Posts (Deputy Secretary and above) selection for which is made by examination or by horizontal movement of officers of the prescribed length of service in other Groups. Appointment by horizontal movement will be made after assessment of suitability and fitness by the Central Selection Board.
7. Lateral entry.- To bring in fresh blood and to relieve shortages, if any, at various levels, induction in the group may be made by selection from amongst officers of the Armed Forces or by lateral entry from other sources subject to suitability and fitness being determined by the Selection Board.
8. Seniority.- The inter se seniority of direct recruits to Grade 17 will be determined on the basis of the order of merit assigned to the probationer officers allocated to the Police Group on completion of the training at the Academy for Administrative Training. Seniority in Grade 18 and above would be determined from the date of regular continuous officiation in a Grade. Gradation Lists of Officers in All-Pakistan Unified Grade would be issued by the Establishment Division periodically.
