Haryana Police SPO Recruitment 2026: 400 Ex-Servicemen Invited as Special Police Officers
The Telecommunication Wing of Haryana Police has invited applications for the engagement of 400 Special Police Officers (SPOs) under Section 21 of the Haryana Police Act, 2007. This is a wonderful second innings for our soldiers — the opportunity is open only to ex-servicemen of the Armed Forces and Central Armed Police Forces, and to ex-Constables of the disbanded Haryana State Industrial Security Force and Haryana Armed Police Battalions. Selected SPOs will receive a monthly honorarium of ₹20,000, and preference is given to those who have handled telecommunication equipment, especially Signal Corps veterans.
The best part is that there is no written test and no physical test. You simply appear in person with your documents on the single date fixed for your district, between 24 and 27 August 2026, from 9:00 AM onwards. If you are looking for government jobs in Haryana, and you have served the nation in uniform, this is a straightforward chance worth taking. This guide on GovtJobsAlert.in explains the eligibility, honorarium, dates and full walk-in process.
