Police Commissionerate

A Police Commissionerate is a system where police functions are led by a Police Commissioner who has executive authority over law enforcement within a specific city or area. This setup streamlines decision-making and ensures focused management of policing priorities. The Commissioner oversees officers, investigations, and law enforcement strategies directly, often reporting to higher government authorities. It operates separately from state police systems that manage broader regional or rural areas. This structure aims to improve efficiency, accountability, and responsiveness in urban policing by centralizing command under a single, empowered officer.
