Kerala Police History

The police in India is as old as the nation herself. Its origin may be traced to the feudal obligation of the land owners to maintain, by means of underpaid and disorderly rabble the semblance of order on their estates.

This brief survey traces the contours of development and progress of Kerala Police over several centuries and delineates the social, political, economic, cultural and religious factors, which contributed to the evolution of the Police system in Kerala.

The history of ancient Kerala is shrouded in mystery and a historical dawn is visible only with the arrival of the Chera Empire and the Sanga Kala works.
