Brief History and Background for its Establishment :
History of Odisha Police :
(i) April 1st, 1936 will always remain etched in golden letters in the history of Odisha, as on that day both the state of Odisha and the Odisha Police were born. The new state was formed by separating Odisha from the Bihar and Odisha administration and uniting Oriya speaking areas of Madras presidency and Central province with the Odisha province. The new province comprised of six districts.
Perhaps, police administration, in some form or the other, was in vogue since the inception of human civilization. In the context of our country, a brief mention about policing is found in "Manu Smruti"codified by Manu, the great law -giver. Kautilya, a great scholar and diplomat of the Mauryan period described the duties and functions of the police in "ARTHA SHASTRA". In the ancient state of Kalinga "Atabika"police were being employed to control civic unrest. During those days police officials were known as "RAKSHIMAAH".
During the medieval period successive rulers like Ananga Bhima Dev, Pratap Rudra Dev, Mukunda Dev etc., used "DANDA PAIKAS" for policing in their jurisdiction. However, during the Moghul period the police administration was under the charge of 'Kotwal'whose duty was to maintain peace and order in his jurisdiction.
After the Moghuls, Marathas ruled Odisha for about a century. They continued with the system of village police introduced by the Moghuls. However, with the advent of the Britishers, a new system of policing was introduced in Odisha from 1803. During the British rule, the land holders and Zamindars were required to appoint and maintain police forces within their respective estates. In 1829, the post of Supdt. of Police, was abolished and the office of the Magistrate was transferred from the Judge to the Collector. The Magistrate was the controlling officer of the police who were known as Darogas. In fact, Darogas enjoyed absolute powers.
There was widespread discontentment against the Police tyranny in 1855 in Madras. In 1857, the Sepoys openly revolted against the British rule. As a result of these developments, a commission was set up by the House of Commons to enquire into the administration of justice and the police system in India. Based on the recommendations of the Commission. The Police Act (Act V of 1861) was passed which is the basis for policing till date not only in Odisha but in most parts of the country.
In 1936, the Odisha Police was constituted to synchronize with formation of the state of Odisha. Odisha Police comprised of 4000 policemen approx. of all ranks taken together. As police personnel belonged to three different police forces namely Bihar -Odisha, Madras presidency and Central provinces, some genuine difficulties were faced by authorities in managing the force. Moreover, a good number of policemen returned to Madras and Central provinces which led to dislocation in police work for sometime.
Mr. E.A.O. Perkin was the first I.G. of Police of Odisha Police and Mr. I.C. Mcnally was the first A.I.G. of Police who was also in -charge of the Criminal Investigation Department(CID).
There were 8 Ss.P in the province of whom six were in charge of six districts and the remaining two Ss.P were in-charge of the Railways and the CID.
In 1937, there was a general election in which the Congress party won 36 seats out of 66 Assembly seats. As the Congress was unwilling to form a Govt., an interim Govt., was formed which was headed by the Maharaja of Paralakhemundi. Thus, on 19.7.1937 Odisha Police came under a popular Govt., for the first time. Between 1939 to 1945, due to the out break of the World war-I I, the police was under great strain due to multifarious activities relating to the war efforts of the Govt. and various agitational activities undertaken by the Congress from time to time. During this period, some trained signalmen were sent from the Ganjam armed police to take part in the war though many other officers and men who had volunteered for military service were not allowed to join the armed forces as the Govt., could not afford to weaken the civil administration.
The Odisha Police Manual Rules (PMR) was compiled in 1940 as a hand manual dealing with powers, functions and duties of the police at various levels.
(ii) On 15th August, 1947, India achieved independence. With the ushering in of independence, the Odisha Police became a people's police, a significant departure from being a colonial police. Mr. J.E. Pearman became the first Inspector General of Police of the State after the Independence.
In 1948, 25 feudatory states were merged with Odisha, thus increasing the geographical size of the state significantly. With the integration of the princely states in Odisha, the number of districts rose to 11. In 1949, the state of Mayurbhanj was merged in Odisha and became a district of the southern police range. However, later it was included in the northern range w.e.f. 01.01.1950, for administrative convenience. In Nov'1949, the district of Kalahandi consisting of Dharmagarh sub-division of the then Bolangir district and Nuapada sub- division of Sambalpur district was included in the northern range. Thus, the numbers of districts increased to 13. Of the two ranges, the northern range, with Hqrs. at Sambalpur, comprised of Sambalpur, Bolangir, Dhenkanal, Sundargarh, Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar and Kalahandi districts, OMP 2 nd Bn., and Police Training College at Angul. The Southern range with Hqrs. at Cuttack, comprised of Cuttack, Puri, Balasore, Ganjam, Koraput and Phulbani districts and the OMP 1st Bn., . The Railway police force remained under the control of D.I.G. Southern range, but was subsequently brought under the D.I.G. CID, w.e.f. 1.3.1950.
The Central Range was created in 1960 by bifurcating the Southern Range. It comprised of Cuttack, Puri, Balasore & Mayurbhanj districts.
After retirement of Mr. Pearman on 31.3.1948, Mr. C.M. Wright Neville was appointed as the I.G. of Police. After Mr. Neville, Mr. B.Roy took over charge as the first Indian I.G. of Police of Odisha on 19.8.51. On his retirement on 11.10.1958, Sri R.C. Dash assumed charge as I.G. of Police.
In 1955, the new capital of the state was established at Bhubaneswar.
A new police range was created at Berhampur w .e.f. 1.1.1960.
As Sri R.C.Das demitted office on 16.5.1960 and joined as a member of the Odisha Pay Committee, he was succeeded by Sri J.C. Ghosh as I.G. of Police.

(iii) In 1964, after serious communal riots in Rourkela followed by state-wide students' agitation, a new police district was created for Rourkela and a new range styled as the Western Range, consisting of Sundargarh Keonjhar and Rourkela police districts, was carved out of the Northern Range.
For proper intelligence gathering and dissemination, the post of DIG, Intelligence was created with effect from 14.05.1964 by separating the special branch from the office of the DIG, CID and Railways.
For better supervision and coordination over the vastly expanded signals establishment in the state, the post of DIG, Technical was created w.e.f. 17.12.1971.In order to ensure better policing of the state capital, a new police district namely Bhubaneswar police district was formed w.e.f. 1.4.1975.
In the wake of the almost all pervasive police disturbances in India, in 1979, a state-wide agitation was launched by the Havildars and Constables of Odisha Police under the leadership of Latifur Rahaman. This was controlled promptly. In 1981, Cuttack district was divided into two districts viz:- Cuttack Rural and Cuttack Sadar from administrative point of view. In 1984, a new police range namely South- Western range was formed with Hqrs. at Sunabeda, out of the Southern Range, Berhampur. In the same year, a new police district was formed at Berhampur, separating it from Ganjam district. In 1992, 4 new districts namely Gajapati, Rayagada, Malkangiri and Nawarangapur were formed. Subsequently in 1993, 9 more districts namely Jagatsinghpur, Jajpur, Kendrapara, Nayagarh, Khurda, Bhadrak, Nuapada, Angul and Sonepur were formed. Again in 1994, 3 new districts namely Boudh, Jharsuguda and Deogarh were formed.,thus increasing the number of police districts to 32. (Against 30 Revenue districts).
After enactment of the Odisha Military Police Act (Odisha Act VII of 1946), the Odisha Military Police was formed on 1st March, 1946. Soon after its creation, this force had to handle serious situations in places like Bhadrak, Ib, Bering, Rampur, Cuttack etc. Due to strenuous nature of work and need for more personnel, its strength was increased w.e.f. 1st March, 1947. The strength was further increased with the formation of a Gurkha Military Police unit. On 1st March 1948, after merger of feudatory States in the Province of Odisha, there was a reorganization of the police organizations and the 2nd Battalion of Odisha Military police was established. This Battalion had both Gurkha and Oriya companies. While the Bn. Headquarters was at Dhenkanal, two detachment camps of this battalion were functioning at Nayagarh and Jharsuguda. Subsequently, other Battalions came up at different places of the State. At present, there are 8 Battalions and one India Reserve Battalion.
The nomenclature "Odisha Military Police" remained in vogue till 1980. Consequent upon enactment of the Odisha Military Police (Amendment) Act 1980, the name "Odisha Military Police''was changed to "Special Armed Police". The headquarters of the SAP is at state Police Hqrs, Cuttack and it is under the general control and supervision of the Director General and Inspector General of Police.
(iv) Annual central grant known as "Modernization grant" was made available to all the states by the Centre from 1969-70 onwards. Under this scheme, Odisha Police receives funds to purchase wireless equipments, motor vehicles, scientific and technical equipments etc for modernization. A full-fledged forensic science laboratory has been established at Bhubaneswar under the CID, providing serological, chemical and other expert- examination facilities within the state.
(v)The Home-guards organization, as an auxiliary force, was set up in Odisha in 1962. In 1973, the post of Deputy Commandant General, Home-guards and Fire Service was sanctioned. However, in 1978, the Fire Service and Home guards organization was taken out of the control of the Police organization. This organization started functioning independently under the Commandant General, Home-guards and Inspector General, Fire Service under the Home Department. The status of the head of the department was up-graded to the rank of Director General in 1985.
(vi) Odisha Police has kept pace with others by procuring latest gadgets and arms and ammunition, and building up infrastructure. Skill of its personnel has also been upgraded by providing latest training facilities.
