About Gurugram Police

The Gurugram Police is under the authority of the Haryana Police, Govt. of Haryana. As Gurguram, then Gurguram, witnessed fast development, industrial growth, rapid urbanization and increase in population, Gurugram Police was converted from a District Police headed by Superintendent of Police to a Commissionerate of Police headed by Commissioner of Police, not below the rank of Inspector General of Police, on 8th June, 2007. This move towards a more regional management system is expected to cope-up with the problems of law and order, equipped to prevent and detect crime and instill confidence and sense of security in the general public. This change ensures there is greater grass-roots involvement in decision-making and also allows the Gurugram Police to invest more resources into frontline services.
