Objective-The objective of Rajasthan Police is to maintain the law, order and keep peace of the state, to safeguard the people and their property, control crime, disorder and unlawful activities and preserve a sense of social security. The motto of Rajasthan Police is "Sevarth Katibaddhta" meaning dedicated to serve.
History- The state of present day Rajasthan was formed by the amalgamation of all the erstwhile princely states. The security and the police forces of the former princely states varied in composition, functions and administrative procedures and so on. Following the merger, the police forces of all the former princely states was united into a whole known as Rajasthan Police which came into existence in January, 1951.
In the early years the officers on deputation headed the Rajasthan Police and the first Inspector General of Police was Shri R.Banerji who formulated a common police code for the amalgamated state of Rajasthan in the Rajasthan Police Regulations.
Post independence, there was a lot of disruption of law and order along the1040 km Indo-Pak border where the state was under the threat of Pakistani raiders, narco-terrorists, cattle lifting and incursions. Hence the combined forces of the Central Reserve Police and the Provincial Armed Constabulary were deployed to guard the border in 1949-50.
Initially Rajasthan Police underwent a large number of operational and organizational problems as there were no C.I.D, proper system of jails and judiciary. Afterwards the force was separated into two units known as Civil Police and Armed Police. Civil Police comprised of investigation, intelligence, prosecution and traffic while Armed Police consisted of training, guards, and anti-dacoit squads and so on. A Criminal Investigation Department (C.I.D) was established at the Police Headquarters consisting of two branches such as-Intelligence Branch and Crime Branch. With the passing time the Rajasthan police force has combated the nuisance of dacoits in the Chambal ravines, dealt with the smugglers, criminal gangs and etc with superior professionalism.
