History

The concretization of civilization process started when early human groups felt the need of maintaining some sort of order to safeguard the community. Yet, in all ages the ideal society is imagined as one where internal discipline on part of all citizens no longer requires external policing.

The reality however forced kings and rulers to experiment with training and maintenance of loyal disciplined body of men for security of the state. These men worked partly as soldiers and partly as internal law enforcement personnel. In Indore too, the work of police was performed by military but the administrative control of police department was under the Judiciary.

Early Years (1870-1900)

Indore city was divided under sub-divisions for police control.[4] Each division was headed by a daroga and all the darogas used to work as per instructions of city faujdaar. The sepoys who were actually military jawans, were posted at various police stations. In the year 1872, Sir T. Madhav Rao, prepared a renovation project for police administration, under which services of all sepoys, cavalry and senior officials originally belonging to military were handed over to judicial cabinet. Then on, there existed clear demarcation between police and military.

Col. Thakur, the first Inspector General of police in the state of Indore directed his police officers to refer to rules and regulations framed by the British rulers of India.

However, such system was abolished on October 6, 1896 and 500 jawans of the two companies were shifted to police department. The population of Indore city was about 75,401 in the year 1886 and about 864 sepoys were employed for the population. Thus the ratio was 1 jawan over 87 people.

The total annual expense of the state at that time was ₹52,250 only. Because of 1903 epidemic most of the police jawans died and the general public was not ready to be recruited in police. In the year 1907, the police administration was again divided for the better control of the city and all the police chowkis were connected by telephone lines in the very same year.
