The primary role of the Delhi Police is to maintain law and order, prevent and investigate crimes, and ensure the safety and security of citizens within the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
Unlike most state police forces, the Delhi Police operates directly under the administrative control of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India, not the Delhi state government.
For emergencies, citizens can dial 112, the national emergency helpline number. Specific police stations or control rooms can also be contacted directly.
Notable initiatives include community policing programs, cybercrime units, women's safety measures like the 'Himmat Plus' app, traffic management, and continuous efforts towards modernization through technology.
