CRPF : Police or Army or Paramilitary ?

 CRPF, as well as BSF, CISF, etc, are called a Central Armed Police Force They are not para-military forces.  The media mostly incorrectly used the term paramilitary  Though each force has its own officer cadre, the senior ranks are all filled by IPS officers on deputation. On the other hand, the Coast Guard which was staffed by naval officers on deputation during its fledgling years is now totally officered by CG officers from the DG and below.

The only paramilitary force is Assam Rifles. Its officers are on deputation from the army.
