The Data on Police Organisation in India is an important compilation of information on police infrastructure, manpower and other resources from all States, Union Territories, CAPFs and CPOs.  This publication has proved very useful for various policy analyses and resource allocation decisions at both the MHA as well as the State level.  The publication is also widely cited in several researches on police topics.
