Loukya Quiz BotsAP Police 2026 Vacancies by District & Zone
Every district's and zone's Local Recruitment and Direct Recruitment vacancy count, post code by post code, straight from SLPRB AP's own notifications.
SLPRB AP’s two 16 September 2026 notifications don’t split vacancies the same way. The PC notification (Rc.No.91/Rect.2) gives Post Codes 21, 22 and 42 district by district, and gives Post Codes 53 & 54 grouped into six “Contiguous District Cadres” (CDCs). The SI notification (Rc.No.81/Rect.1) gives Post Codes 11, 12 and 31 grouped into six “Zones.” The CDCs and Zones turn out to be the exact same six district groupings — this page states that once, then gives every table in full. The overview guide only has the state-wide vacancy totals.
Totals, by notification
| Notification | Post codes | Total vacancies |
|---|---|---|
| PC & allied (Rc.No.91/Rect.2/2026) | 21, 22, 42, 53, 54 | 1,156 |
| SI & allied (Rc.No.81/Rect.1/2026) | 11, 12, 31 | 378 |
