IPS: you can choose to work in the field or at the desk depending on your interests. As for the intelligence field, the sky is the limit for you in this service.

All the intelligence organisations and CAPFs are manned and headed by the IPS.

CAPF AC: you can choose this if you want to work in the field. But the type of operations and locations on the field varies for each force.

In summary, go for IPS where there's a lot of mobility and opportunities. CAPF AC is also an awesome job but you might get limited into one type of field depending on the force you're in.
