1. POLICE ORGANIZATION
AT
CENTRAL & STATE LEVEL

2. Forensic science plays a crucial role in crime prevention and
detection
Forensic science plays a significant role in the criminal justice system by providing
scientifically based information through the analysis of physical evidence, determining the
perpetrator's identity through personal clues such as fingerprints, footprints, blood drops or
hair, mobile phones, or other gadgets, vehicles, and weapons
The Committees on Criminal Justice Reform have underlined
that technology in crime detection can help the system run more
efficiently

3. POLICE ORGANIZATION IN INDIA
Article 246 of the Constitution of India places the police, public order, courts, prisons, reformatories, borstal and
other allied institutions in the State List
STATE LIST
Includes subjects in
respect of which
the State legislature
has exclusive powers
to make laws
UNION LIST
Union List - includes
subjects in respect of
which
the Parliament has the
sole power to make
laws.
CUNCURRENT LIST
Consisting of subjects on
which
both the Parliament and the
State Legislatures have
concurrent powers to make
laws
Understanding the criminal justice system is a prelude to understanding the
police.
Article 246 of the Constitution distributes the legislative powers between the
Parliament and the State Legislative Assemblies. It refers to three lists of subjects
given in the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution:

4. The police is a state subject and its
organisation and working are governed by
rules and regulations framed by the state
governments
These rules and regulations are outlined
in the Police Manuals of the state police
forces.
Each State/Union Territory has its
separate police force. Despite the
diversity of police forces, there is a good
deal that is common amongst them
The structure and working of the State Police Forces are
governed by the Police Act of 1861, which is applicable in
most parts of the country, or by the State
Police Acts modeled mostly on the 1861 legislation.
Major criminal laws, like the Indian Penal Code, the
Code of Criminal Procedure, the Indian Evidence Act
etc are uniformly applicable to almost all parts of the
country.
The Indian Police Service (IPS) is an All India Service, which
is recruited, trained and managed by the Central Government
and which provides the bulk of senior officers to the State
Police Forces.
POLICE
The quasi-federal character of the Indian polity, with specific
provisions in the Constitution, allows a coordinating and
counseling role for the Centre in police matters and even
authorizes it to set up certain central police organisations.

EVOLUTION OF POLICE
In ancient India governance was
based on Dharma and
Danda. Dandaneeti i.e., the law of
punishing the evil-doer, was an
important character of statecraft.
During Mauryan and Gupta periods, policing was
undertaken systematically. Kautilya’s ‘Arthasastra’
describes the nature of police organisation and
their functions. Moghul period saw the growth of
Fauzdari System, where Kotwals and
Thanedars were controlling law and order.
The period of British rule witnessed the emergence of a
centralised police force, which enforced a large number
of penal laws and also maintained the might and
authority of government.

looked after by an officer of the rank of
Deputy Inspector General of Police.
Every district is divided into sub-divisions. A sub-
division is under the charge of an officer of the rank of
ASP/ Dy.S.P.
Every sub-division is further divided into a
number of police stations, depending on its
area, population and volume of crime.
Some states have zones comprising two or more
ranges, under the charge of an officer of the rank of an
Inspector General of Police.
The officer in charge of a police station is an Inspector

12. Criminal Investigation Departments or CIDs, as they are popularly known, are specialized branches of the police
force.
CRIME INVESTIGATION
DEPARTMENT
They have two main components - the Crime Branch and the Special Branch
The officer in charge of the CID generally supervises the work of both
branches, though some states appoint a separate officer in charge of the
Special Branch.
It investigates certain specialized crimes like counterfeiting of currency,
professional cheating, activities of criminal gangs, crimes with interdistrict or
inter-state ramifications etc
The Special Branch, on the other hand, collects, collates and disseminates
intelligence from the security point of view.

13. STATE POLICE FORCE
STATE POLICE FORCE
ARMED AND CIVIL
POLICE
ARMED POLICE
CIVIL POLICE
A state police force has
two main components-the
civil police and the armed
police. The primary
function of the
civil police is to control
crime, while the armed
police mainly deal with
law and order situations.
The civil police include
mainly the district police
The civil police include mainly the district police
forces, supervisory structures at the range, zone and
state police headquarters and specialised branches to
deal with crime, intelligence and training problems.
The armed police is in the form of
battalions, which are used as striking
reserves to deal with emergency situations

14. STATE ARMED POLICE
A state armed police battalion is
divided into companies. Generally,
there are six service companies in a
battalion.
A company is further sub-divided into
platoons and platoons into sections.
Ordinarily, three sections constitute
a platoon and three platoons a
company

15. Women police now form a part of the police force of all
states Some states/cities have experimented with setting
up police stations managed and run exclusively by
women police personnel.
India has
10.3% women
in police force
WOMEN POLICE
Women police are utilised mostly in performing
specialized tasks of dealing with women and children.
In this context, the National Police Commission (NPC)
has stated that women police have not been given an
equal share in various areas of police work and
recommended that they be more actively and directly
involved in police
investigations.

16. Policing on the railways is done by the Government
Railway Police (GRP)
Controlling crime on the railways is their main responsibility.
Though the GRP is a part of the state police force, expenditure
on this establishment is shared by the State Government and the
Railways.
