The background is maroon, which is not only an appropriate colour of heraldry but also a symbol of chivalry and sacrifice. The crest is composed of the symbols of the three services superimposed on each other and mounted on top by the Ashoka Capitol . The anchor  supports the sword  and both support the eagle . In this combined form they are no longer four separate entities but fused into one organic whole, communicating visually a new identity, a brotherhood of the armed forces of India, imbued with unquestioned valour (the swords), an unruffled stability and poise (the anchor) which no storms can disturb and fervent zeal always to reach for the sky (the eagle) and the pride of being in the service of the motherland (the Ashoka Capital).  The scroll or motto is fashion

ASSAM POLICE

ASSAM POLICE There is no evidence of there being a regular police force in the state of Assam till the British took over after the Yandabu treaty of 1826. At the end of the Ahom rule and during the reign of Kamaleswar Singha (1795 -1811), an armed force on the British model was raised to serve the dual functions of maintenance of law and order and border defence. It was, however, not a regular and fully organised police force in the real sense of the term. The most important development in this process was the raising of the ‘Cachar Levy’ in 1835 by the Civil Service Officer, in-charge of Nowgong district, Mr. Grange, to guard new settlements and tea estates. It consisted of 750 officers and men of different ranks, viz., Inspectors, Head Constables and Constables. Three years later, a similar body, called ‘Jorhat Militia’, was formed to protect the border areas against frequent border transgressions. It was also known as the ‘Shan’ militia, as the recruits were mostly from the Shan com

ARUNACHAL PRADESH POLICE Having been constituted only in 1972, Arunachal Pradesh Police remains one of the youngest police services of the country. There are several historical factors for this delayed constitution of the force. Prior to the independence, the British had introduced the Assam Frontier (Administration of Justice) Regulation, 1945, to ensure that a vast majority of disputes and cases, both civil and criminal, were adjudicated in accordance with the prevailing traditional codes of the tribal communities. Those days the Assam Rifles was under the command of a civil officer- the Inspector General of the Assam Rifles - who was responsible to the governor of Assam, in his capacity as Agent to the Government of India. There was no change either in status of the organization till 1959. Govt. of India sanctioned in October 1967 a skeleton staff for the Civil Police setup. L. B. Sewa and Uts were instrumental in setting up Arunachal Pradesh Police in 1971. He had his headquarters

Another Kotwal is, Malik Alaul Mulk, who was appointed by Sultan Allauddin Khilji in 1297 AD. When Emperor Shahjahan shifted his capital from Agra to Delhi, in 1648, he appointed Ghaznafar Khan as the first Kotwal of the new city, bestowing on him the office of Mir-i-Atish (Chief of Artillery).
