Job Profile of Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) in the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF)
The Assistant Sub Inspectors (ASIs) in CISF are the backbone of the force because they are the main mediators between the team in the field and the control room. So, their prime job is to run the force smoothly, so that it can fulfill its stated objective without any hassle.
Here are the major roles and responsibilities performed by an Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) in the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF):
Airport Security: This is the most common sight of any CISF personnel as so many people use it every day. The ASIs are there to provide the last mile security to the airports that connect various parts of our country.
Industrial Security: This is another objective of the force and it was actually the main reason why the force was created in the first place. It provides security services to the public sector industrial locations around the country. ASIs are generally posted in these areas.
Search Operation: Being in Police means that you need to have the authority to search a suspect and once you get the order from the higher-ups, the ASIs can carry out these operations in their place of duty but generally they are supervised by sub-inspectors at the time of the search operations.
Power of Seizure: This is another area where ASIs come in handy as they have to search and seize any suspect for preventive custody in any place they are posted. Supervised by the sub inspectors, they have to seize anything that is illegally in possession of the suspected persons.
Clerical duties: Though the job is mostly about field job, there are opportunities for being in a desk job as well, but there you have to do all the clerical work as in any other government offices. You have to maintain files of various operations, administrative matters etc.

Promotion Policy – Growth Opportunities for Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) in CISF
After joining CISF as an ASI, you are liable to get promoted to the rank of Sub Inspector, mainly after five years of continuous service. However, the chances of such promotions is quite less as the promotional exercises are carried out on the basis of zonal security and you have very little chances of getting your first promotion before minimum 7-8 years of service. There are departmental exams as well to fast track the process, but there also the seniority factor comes into play and it becomes difficult to rise to the next level.
The best part of becoming an Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) in CISF is the pride of being associated with one of the best paramilitary forces of the world. Though it’s a field job and does not have as many perquisites as other Central Government Job, but you can earn a lot of respect and a decent salary while working as an ASI with one of the most prestigious military organization of India.
