The Mizoram Police has a significant history, especially following the formation of Mizoram as a state in 1987. Prior to its statehood, Mizoram was part of Assam, and law enforcement was under the Assam Police jurisdiction. The creation of the Mizoram Police force allowed for a more localized and responsive system of law and order. The force had to contend with insurgency issues in the early years after Mizoram’s statehood, but through concerted efforts, the region has since achieved stability.
Over the years, Mizoram Police has focused on countering internal security threats and ensuring public safety. The force is known for its community policing approach and has worked closely with local tribal groups to foster trust and cooperation. The police have also embraced modern technologies in their work, making advancements in criminal investigations and maintaining peace during large public events and festivals.
