| DIRECTORATE OF COORDINATION POLICE WIRELESS |
This Department came into
existence on February 19, 1946, initially as `Inspectorate of Wireless’ and was
later accorded the status of Directorate of Coordination (Police Wireless), a
subordinate organisation, under Ministry of Home Affairs –MHA, in 1950. It was
entrusted with the responsibility of coordinating for developing and
establishing the Police Telecommunication network in the country and also to
advise MHA on all Police Telecommunication matters, predominant being round the
clock communication between the Centre and State /Union Territory - UT capitals
through a network of presently 27 Interstate Police Wireless Stations located
in the State/UT capitals. Presently this Directorate has been entrusted with
the responsibility of setting up of an integrated Police Wireless network in
the country, known as POLNET with the aim of having direct ‘Police Station to
any Police Station’ communication and as back bone for on line crime criminal
information system of the country. The Directorate also runs a Central Police
Radio Training Institute -DCPW which was initially started as a small training
school for the in-service training requirements of DCPW personnel. This was
later upgraded into a full-fledged National Level Police Wireless Training
Institute in 1971 to cater the needs of States and Central Police Organisations
and other security organisations to improve the efficiency of their technical
and operational manpower. Its emblem is crested with Ashoka lion pillar in purple
supported by two counter strokes of power in blue. The words ‘Directorate of
Coordination Police Wireless’ in blue is encrypted in white banner with red border in Devnagiri and English below
