Overview
The Telecommunication Wing of Haryana Police has released the Special Police Officer (SPO) Recruitment 2026 notification, announcing the engagement of 400 SPOs under Section 21 of the Haryana Police Act, 2007. Is Haryana Police SPO Recruitment 2026 out? Yes — eligible candidates are ex-servicemen of the Armed Forces and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), as well as ex-Constables of the disbanded Haryana State Industrial Security Force (HSISF) and Haryana Armed Police (HAP) Battalions. This is not an online recruitment; candidates must appear in person, with all original documents, at Police Lines Telecommunication, Panchkula, on the date assigned to their home district between 24 and 27 August 2026. The recruitment is driven by the Telecommunication Wing's operational requirement for trained ex-servicemen who can support communication and signal duties across Haryana's district police units. Selected SPOs will be engaged for a period of 1 year, or until regular appointment of personnel, whichever comes first, and will receive a monthly honorarium of ₹20,000 credited directly to their bank account, along with a one-time uniform allowance of ₹3,000 covering two sets of uniform, one pair of shoes, SPO insignia, and cap/lanyard, plus TA/DA of ₹150 per day when on official tour. In case of death in action displaying bravery or extraordinary courage, an ex-gratia of ₹10 lakhs is payable; permanent disability in action attracts compensation of ₹1 lakh to ₹3 lakhs; grave injury in action attracts up to ₹1 lakh; and natural death attracts ₹3 lakhs. Preference is given to candidates with prior experience handling telecommunication equipment, particularly those who served in the Signal Corps of the Armed Forces or CAPFs. There is no written or physical test for this engagement — selection proceeds directly through document verification, medical examination, and character and antecedent verification by the concerned district police authority, followed by a 15-day capsule course to reorient selected SPOs to Police Department requirements before deployment. Candidates must report from 9:00 AM onwards at Police Lines Telecommunication, Opposite Sector-25, Near Village Moginand, Panchkula, Haryana, strictly on the date assigned to their district: Panchkula, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Kurukshetra, Karnal and Kaithal on 24 August; Sonepat, Panipat, Rohtak, Jhajjar, Bhiwani and Charkhi Dadri on 25 August; Gurugram, Faridabad, Mewat (Nuh), Palwal, Rewari and Narnaul on 26 August; and Hissar, Fatehabad, Sirsa, Hansi, Jind and Dabwali on 27 August 2026. No application will be accepted after the prescribed date for a candidate's district, and no TA/DA is paid for appearing at document submission. SPOs will not be posted at their home police station, though preference is given to the home district at deployment subject to post availability, and they may be deployed anywhere in Haryana during emergent situations for short durations. This is a significant engagement opportunity for ex-servicemen across all districts of Haryana, offering a structured route back into government service with defined honorarium, ex-gratia compensation, and a clear one-year engagement period.
