Lakshadweep Police

Lakshadweep Police Wireless was established in 1980 and is functioning under the Inspector (Communication). Officers of the rank of Assistant Sub Inspector (Wireless Operator) are managing the wireless station in the islands. The islands are connected with High Frequency interfaced with BEST equipments, VHF and UHF. We are awaiting introduction of POLNET system in the islands through which the connectivity with the rest of the country can be a reality.

A special Branch unit is functioning at H.Q. Kavaratti headed by an Inspector of Police and under the direct control of the Superintendent of Police. Similar units are functioning at Kochi and Kozhikode also. The staff Officer to the S.P. manages the personal section of S.P.

The security of the only airport at Agatti is managed by the strength of an Inspector, one S.I., one (SI woman), 2 HCs and 5 constables since 16.4.88.

The Police station in each island is managed by an officer of the rank of Sub Inspector except at Minicoy where an Inspector is posted as the OIC. They are also designated as Registration Officers under LMA Islands (Restriction on Entry and residence rules 1967) and Prohibition Officers under Lakshadweep Prohibition Regulation 1967. The Police Stations except Chetlath is provided with a jeep and motor cycle.

Lakshadweep being the smallest in the country, the Police force is also very small. The crime rate is also the lowest in the country. The cases reported at the Police Stations amount to thefts, trespass, rioting , mischief criminal breach of trust etc. Heinous crimes are rare. Only three murder cases are reported so far, two at Androth and one at Kalpeni respectively.
