HIMACHAL PRADESH POLICE |
Himachal
Pradesh - HP as a political entity came into existence on April 15, 1948. It was constituted by
integrating the princely States of Chamba, Mandi, Suket, Sirmaur and 26 smaller
states known as the Punjab Hill States. In 1948, states like Mandi, Chamba,
Sirmaur, Suket and Bilaspur had their regular Police forces. Other smaller
states had a common police force. The Rulers of Punjab Hill States, with the
exception of Sirmaur and Bilaspur realized the advantage of establishing a
common system of Policing in their States. This was, in the true sense, the
beginning of Himachal Pradesh Police. In order to ensure proper administration,
an officer of the rank of Superintendent of Police in British India was
appointed with the authority to exercise general supervision over the police cadre
in these States. In 1948, after the constitution of the Union Territory, the
Police force drawn from different States with varying backgrounds and
traditions were amalgamated to form the HP Police. The police in the State was
headed by an Inspector General who was also Inspector General for Union
Territories of Delhi and Ajmer. S. R. Chaudhary, was the first IGP of HP. The
emblem of Himachal Pradesh Police consists of the acronym ‘HP’ in the centre,
crested with the Asoka Capital being the emblem of India. The emblem is
surrounded by a purple garland and a yellow ribbon below charged with a star
and the motto: ‘Nirbhaya Nishpaksha Satyanishta’ meaning ‘Fearless Non-partisan
Upkeeper of Truth’.
