He also served as Deputy Inspector General of Police of Jammu, and after being promoted in 2003[16] he was appointed as Inspector General (Crime), IGP (Home Guards and Civil Defence), as Inspector General Modernisation Police Headquarters[17] and for nearly three and a half years [18] as Inspector General of Police of Jammu eventually. Thereafter in 2008, Vaid was posted as IGP Crime and Railways and Inspector General of Police (IGP) Traffic Jammu & Kashmir[19] in 2009 when he was sent on deputation to BPR&D in New Delhi[20][21][22] where he was initially posted as Director of Special Policing[23] then Director of Training[24] and during the last months of his deputation as the Director of Administration[25][26]

As of 23 February 2010 Dr. S P Vaid was also appointed as the new Secretary of Central Indian Police Service Association (CIPSA) as an additional central charge besides his assignment in Bureau of Police Research & Development.[27][28]

On 17 June 2011, the Jammu & Kashmir Government ordered the J&K Home Department for the promotion of Mr. Vaid and two other 1986 Batch J&K Cadre IPS officers to the senior Indian police rank of Additional Director General of Police.[29][30][31] Due to promotion, Vaid was repatriated by Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Govt. of India and he returned to his parent cadre on 15 September 2011.[32] On 24 November 2011, the J&K State Cabinet ordered the posting of Vaid as Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), Headquarters (PHQ).[14][33]

On 3 March 2016, Vaid was promoted to the grade of Director General (DG), and since then he has been appointed as Director General of Police (Prisons). [13]


Contributions

In December 1999 Vaid supervised the release from Kot Bhalwal jail of Pakistani mujaheddin leader and the founder of the militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed, Azhar Masood, who was exchanged for passengers on the hijacked Indian Airlines Flight 814 (IC-814).[34]

In August 2006 the Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) reported about Vaid's involvement in a project with state-owned Bharat Petroleum to employ family members of the approximately 1,000 Jammu and Kashmir policemen who have died fighting separatists.[35]

Then IGP Jammu, Vaid supervised the operation against the militants and regained control of the Kot Bhalwal prison following seven-hour clashes with more than 300 prisoners after the situation within the jail went out of control.[36]

Vaid served as a chairman of the session, "Regional Cooperation to Fight Terrorism", at the March 2009 Asia Pacific Regional Conference of The World Federation of United Nations Associations.[37] In the same year, he addressed the Governing Council Meeting of CAPSI (Central Association of Private Security Industry). He emphasised that CAPSI and BPR&D should work together to improve Indian national security and pointed out the importance of the security industry for the training and employment of rural youth.[38]

In the Indian Police Journal's October–December 2009 edition 0537-2429, Vaid served as one of the members of the Editorial Board.[39]

In December 2010, Vaid served as one of the members of the Advisory Committee of "One Day National Summit On cloud computing & Green IT Technology" organised by the Computer Society of India at New Delhi.[40]

In December 2011, Vaid inaugurated 2nd Police Martyr's Memorial North Zone Inter Club T-20 Cricket Championship 2011–12 in Kathua district of J&K. This tournament is said to have served the dual purpose of better Police-Public relations and honour to Martyr's families.[41][42]

Assassination attempt

The then Deputy Inspector General of Police, Baramulla range in the Kashmir Valley, Vaid suffered a severe hand injury in March 1999 when 25 militants ambushed his car and two escort gypsies on the national highway, on his way to Baramulla after a review meeting at Srinagar where he was officiating as Inspector General. The militants, aware that his car was bullet-proof, hurled hand-grenades and used powerful universal machine guns which pierce through bullet-proof glass, instead of the commonly used AK-47s.[2][43]

In 1990 then Superintendent in Badgam, Vaid was accompanying his wife along with their month-old daughter from Gulmarg to Badgam. Militants attacked the convoy killing two army men in the vehicle in front of his car. The apprehended militants later admitted that the attack was meant to assassinate him.[2]
