The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) releases the SSC CPO 2026 notification and opens applications for Sub-Inspector recruitment. Multiple outlets report that the total number of tentative vacancies is in the range of 1,871–2,018 posts for Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs).

Candidates can apply online during a stated window from September 10 to September 30, subject to eligibility criteria. The recruitment process, as described across sources, includes a written examination, followed by physical tests and a medical assessment.

Outlets also note service liability: candidates selected for appointment as SI in the CAPFs are liable to serve anywhere in India. While the outlets differ slightly in the reported vacancy totals, they align on the notification release, application timeline, and the overall selection stages.
