Yes, you can generally return to your police job in India after completing your master's abroad, as long as you followed your department’s required procedures for leave or sabbatical.

- If you took approved study leave: You are usually expected to return to duty after your studies, provided you meet any bond or service obligations outlined in your leave terms.
- If you resigned: Rejoining is more difficult, as resignation typically severs your employment. Some exceptions exist, such as technical resignation within the public sector, but these depend on your department’s policies.

Review your original leave or resignation terms and consult your department for your specific rejoining options.
