If you are pointing towards gazetted post in police services, the only way is through UPSC or State Civil Services Examination. Additionally, there are other government organisations such as Income Tax, Excise, IB, CBI, RAW, etc. where you can join without appearing in the UPSC examination. These would be non-gazetted post and you can join them through SSC and other related examinations.
