Police Administrative Powers to Shift Back to IGP Amid Structural Changes

Date:

October 06, Colombo (LNW): The authority to oversee transfers, promotions, and other administrative matters concerning police personnel is set to return to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) in the coming week, marking a notable shift in the governance of Sri Lanka’s police force.

A formal gazette notification is expected to be issued shortly, officially transferring these powers from the National Police Commission (NPC) back to the IGP. This development follows a decision made during a recent meeting of the NPC held last Wednesday.

Currently, the National Police Commission is vested with the power to manage critical human resource functions within the police service, including disciplinary matters, career advancement, and officer transfers.
