The aggrieved are thousands of officers left out in job group upgrades after submitting university degree certificates to the NPSC. Ordinarily, police constables hired with only O level certificates are in the job group "F", while those with degrees are in job group "J". The officers went to court after their wait for the NPSC to review their salaries failed to yield any results. The PS had directed a salary increment for officers with degree certificates. The then police commissioner received an approval to consider and accordingly remunerate graduate police officers at Job Group "J".
